- Sensibility: A bit around Finneas's presence is awkward, artificial, and feels like pure emotional manipulation by the ending.
- Cinematography: A lot of repetition in the camera work, some editing choices interrupt the flow and add unnecessary run time. The film can't decide whether it's a documentary, a concert video, or an interview and it doesn't quite do any of the three perfectly.
- Energy: Great live performances by Billie make for great moments, but the interview moments feel forced and artificial. The choices to show the transitions between songs make for some weird interlude moments that drag their heels.
- Narrative: It feels harsh to score this film for narrative when it essentially is a concert video, but the film does try to convey the story of Billie's prep and execution of the tour and film. It's almost a film about itself, and unfortunately there isn't a lot of substance to go around. I think it would have been more successful as a strict concert video, rather than an awkward blend of interview and behind the scenes of the movie itself with the concert performances.
- T-Points: The film received two bonus points: one for a transition between screen footage to live footage during the performance of The Diner and one for overall great performances and videography.
Decent concert video, but not a great movie. I've probably scored it a bit harshly given what it is, but when it advertizes as and attempts to be a film with a narrative it should be scored as one.
