“Taylor Swift: The Eras Tour” Is Intimate, Colossal, and Slightly Disappointing

Richard Brody reviews the concert film “Taylor Swift: The Eras Tour,” featuring performances from the artist’s “Eras Tour” stop at SoFi Stadium.

There are film directors who manage to turn big-budget studio movies into personal works, and, as I watched, I felt that Swift commandeers the mighty mechanism of celebrity in a similar way. The concept of the concert is autobiographical: Swift looks back at her career, album by album, each of which she ascribes to a different “era” in her life and each of which constitutes a segment of the show.

In effect, it’s a voice made to fit the lyrics—neither overwhelming nor underwhelming, an intensification and distillation of what’s extraordinary in ordinary life. What’s missing from the film is both a sense of proximity and a sense of time. “The Eras Tour” offers very few screen-filling closeups of Swift, and they go by in a flash.
