Not What I Thought It Would Be..
jessicastjames22 December 2020
I love me some Ms. Grande, but I was hype for a documentary, it really is just a concert special with a few backstage moments. It was shot beautifully and of course she sounded amazing, but as somebody who was there at the manchester show, i was really hoping that it was a little more in depth. Love you girl <3

Meh!
kirstenroper22 December 2020
I was underwhelmed by this. The concert footage is good, she's a great performer, but marketing it as a documentary is one heck of a stretch. A few disjointed, shallow backstage clips and very random anecdotes is all you get.

ariana grande's energetic performance is always a pleasure to watch
Sir_AmirSyarif21 December 2020
It's no 'Homecoming,' but it's alright. there's little insight in this uneven mix of backstage and concert footage, but ariana grande's energetic performance is always a pleasure to watch. that random "Trump is impeached" moment is... well... pretty random.

Less Documentary,More Musical🙄
tarpandas-9706222 December 2020
I thought this movie will be about Lifestyle of Ariana Grande...but the whole movie is showing only the live perfomance where she singed and danced....No lifestyle was shown about her in that movie.....plz don't waste your time friends....Blackpink-Light up the sky is better than this!

Good concert experience
lisafordeay22 December 2020
I went to see Ariana Grande's concert live in Dublin back in 2019 so it was nice to finally see a more in depth look at her Sweetener concert as well as the behind the scenes on the concert.

If you are a die hard fan then you will love this documentary.

over 3/4 of the 9-10 star review are single use accounts (shills)

Firstly this is not a documentary. If it were it would note that this advocate of 'defund the police" has armed personal private security 24/7. That this fighter against global warming uses private jets, SUV limos, heated swimming pools and the carbon footprint of 2,500 working persons. This is is nothing more than a narcissistic puff piece.

Sweetener world tour!
exceladeogun19 February 2024
Ariana Grande: Excuse me, I love you

There are two ways to view this, as a concert film and as a documentary.

As a documentary, it fails, as the backstage and behind-the-scenes moments aren't enough and offer nothing new to viewers. There are cute moments but not profound or 'grande' to make it a success.

As a concert film, it succeeds phenomenally. Ariana's vocals are at their peak. The editing is keen, the camera angles are delightful. Miss Grande can put out a performance, don her six-inch heels, and skip around the stage whilst delivering stellar vocals. Fans of the pop star will definitely love this movie, especially those that weren't opportune to attend any of the shows live.

7.5/10.

Sorry but this isn't a documentary
doylezoe25 December 2020
Apologies but if your looking for a true heart felt look into the hard work and determination that goes into an Ariana Grande world tour, your in the wrong place. This is nothing more than a concert film with about 6-7 mediocre (and totally unrelated) behind the scenes footage. That have no relation to the tour itself or what it's about. Now if this was just suppose to be a concert film I'd give it 8/10. The visuals, singing and whole performance (from grande to the dancers) was amazing. I can't stand it though when films that try to call themselves a documentary aren't even close to it.

Overall, it's definitely worth a watch. Just know that it's not (in anyway) a documentary. It's just a concert movie.

Viewers And Music Lovers Will LOVE Ariana Grande More After Watching This Documentary Film
RECB321 October 2023
This is a great documentary film for all viewers and music lovers to watch and enjoy. This documentary film reveals a real and true insight of what really happens when Ariana Grande tours. She did a real fabulous job in creating this documentary film. Ariana Grande is absolutely tremendous in all that she does.

Ariana Grande has no limit in anything that she does. There is no stopping her. Ariana Grande is terrific for the creative arts industry. Her music songs really have had a real impact on the world. I enjoyed watching this documentary film. It reveals so much about Ariana Grande. This is a great documentary film for everyone to watch and enjoy.

Watch if you love her music, not personal documentary
christinecambia22 December 2020
I love Ariana but I was expecting more raw footage of her... she has talent no doubt but it just felt like I was watching a concert. With that said, I do love her songs but it was more a music video than anything else.

Too many backstage footage.
bradesplaysmc10 January 2021
A concert experience is amazing, it's just they add too many behind the stage scenes when this is not even a documentary.

Disappointed
zpdhani22 December 2020
Warning: Spoilers
This was more of a concert movie, where you watch the perform of the show. Minimal behind the scene and details into what happens backstage/ the lead up to a big shows. It doesn't touch on big events that we all know happened during this time/ lead up to this era. The most info anyone gets is when Ariana explains that her dog pooped everywhere when she's was on FaceTime. Bit of a disappointment.

Loved the virtual concert experience, but...
pdilly9422 December 2020
This was not a documentary. I figured this would be similar to Beyoncé's Homecoming concert/doc, which gives more in depth information about her music and performances. Definitely watch if you're a fan who hasn't had the opportunity to see her live, you'll enjoy the concert aspect.

Not what I expected
doinalou22 December 2020
Quite dissapointed. Expected a documentary about her tour with a backstory but I only counted 4-5 brief, meaningless backstage moments. Would be best described as a film of her tour, nothing documentary-like about it.

a beautiful recall
nguyentulinh-0942922 December 2020
I never thought she could do a show after the trauma. However, she made it, 100 shows with her perfect vocals

Another cash grab attempt of netflix
calvinharrisq24 December 2020
These popstars couldn't make money off new music so they're releasing these docs for money like okay if you have weird interest in her life then You're sure to be disappointed because It's just concert footage nothing more. Waste of time.

Fun concert footage but not documentary level
sye_here31 December 2020
I learned nothing about Ariana, the artistic process behind creating this tour, or the albums the tour centers around. It failed to provide the story of the tour or the London concert(s). That's the purpose of a concert documentary. The concert footage itself looked great though. Wish I was there.

Not a documentary
fanny-8445222 December 2020
It's like watching a tour that was recorded. If you want to learn more about Ariana this is not gonna do it, the only few backstage moments you see are pretty short and boring.

Excuse Me Its Boring
VanBooter23 December 2020
Well what a disappointment I was hoping this was going to be a warts and all documentary but after watching it for 15 minutes it was obvious this is just a kiss ass Netflix promotional video for the kids. With rumours about her miming or what some call lip syncing I was hoping this was going to be a tear apart in depth investigation and interrogation as to why she considers it ok to fool the audience that she is singing live . One way which sometimes is an indication is when the performer hold the mike close to the mouth which in this instance is a method she uses throughout.
