Amazon MGM Studios on Tuesday announced Kids Are Growing Up, a feature doc on Grammy-nominated Australian singer-songwriter The Kid Laroi and his meteoric rise to fame. Directed and produced by Grammy nominee Michael D. Ratner, the founder and CEO of Obb Media, the film will be available to stream beginning February 29.
Born Charlton Howard, The Kid Laroi went from an unknown musician living in Australia to a teenage global superstar selling out his hometown arena on back-to-back nights in just three years. The film captures a unique moment in time, as Laroi enters adulthood, navigating the pressures of rapid fame, struggles with his mental health, first love, and the tragic death of his mentor — the late rapper Juice Wrld. Cameras began rolling before the success of his 2021 hit single “Stay” and continue as Laroi gears up for his first world tour and studio album. As Laroi is forced to deal...

The latest 007 adventure, No Time to Die, opens today, but the Bond film is not the only tentpole-scaled entertainment happening of the weekend. The Amazon Prime Video release of the concert documentary Justin Bieber: Our World also qualifies, from the perspective of director Michael D. Ratner.
“We’re living in a time when it’s not just Marvel movies and franchises that are the big tentpole, Hollywood world-changing events, it’s these mega-music projects,” Ratner tells Deadline. “Amazon’s been phenomenal and they’ve had a history of making tentpole, event-ized projects like this.”
The project began with an ambitious idea: as 2020 neared an end, the music superstar and his team dreamed of a way to “close out a year unlike any other.” They put together a one-time New Years Eve concert to be staged on the roof of the Beverly Hilton Hotel, marking Bieber’s first live performance in three years.

Ever wanted to see Justin Bieber get his nose swabbed for a Covid test? Here’s your chance. Director Michael D. Ratner’s by-the-numbers music documentary “Justin Bieber: Our World” is strictly for the fans. While Beliebers may be titillated by the mundane behind-the-scenes goings-on of the pop brat’s pandemic-era concert on the roof of the Beverly Hilton, there’s little else to invite in new audiences. Still,
While the documentary opens with Bieber filming himself rising out of bed and taking a shower (not unlike the beginning of Netflix’s much slicker Shawn Mendes documentary), you can hardly mistake this concert documentary as some kind of unvarnished vérité record. This thing has been wiped and polished with a public-relations sheen. What the movie does offer is a beveled window into the pop star’s day-to-day with wife Hailey Bieber, and the sorts of (obviously staged) stilted conversations the pair have.

“It’s been a rough year,” Justin Bieber says from the roof of the Beverly Hilton Hotel. The pandemic has forced nontraditional venues to step in for arenas, and livestreams to take the place of in-person gatherings — even on a major holiday like New Year’s Eve. With only 280 people in attendance, and nearly as many working behind the scenes to stage the performance, challenges persist, not the least of which involve the health and safety of, well, everyone.
Re-teaming with director Michael Ratner (“Justin Bieber: Seasons” and Justin Bieber: Next Chapter”), “Justin Bieber: Our World” (streaming on Amazon Prime Video) offers an intimate view of what goes into pulling off an event of such magnitude, and how Bieber, who serves as executive producer on the doc, adapts his life to the new reality.

Baby, baby, baby, oh? In his latest Amazon Prime documentary, Justin Bieber: Our World, Justin Bieber dropped a very personal bit of information. At one point, Hailey Bieber, 24, who made a few cameos throughout the film, asked the 27-year-old performer to share his dreams for the year, which prompted him to sheepishly hint at his focus on their family. "My intention for 2021 is to continue to set goals and have fun while doing them. Make sure I put my family first," Justin shared, adding, "And, hopefully, we squish out a little nugget." Which seemed to be news to Hailey, who responded, "In 2021?!" To which Justin added,...
