Critic Reviews
-
Bruce Diones, New Yorker
It has come to this: parents who have recorded their children's lives since infancy can see their home films edited into their child's very own 3-D concert documentary.
-
David Edelstein, New York Magazine
I find him such a bland, pious, profoundly unthreatening little Furby of a pop idol, but little girls' celebrity crushes are not to be trifled with. And this sensationally engineered promo film makes Justin Bieber look like a true force of nature.
-
Stephen Whitty, Newark Star-Ledger
The movie remains so sanitized, so authorized that it never gives us credit for being able to make up our own minds about him and what he represents.
-
Tom Charity, CNN.com
Bieber's unquestionably gifted, and if he's smart enough to listen to the grounded, talented folk around him, there's every reason to hope that he'll turn out to be just fine when he grows up.
-
David Edelstein, NPR
The movie is cunningly woven to show the tension between his insane success and his determination to remain a sane, normal 16-year-old.
