What a waste of my time!!!

Disturbing yet enthralling

I really wanted to like this movie. I feel terribly cynical trashing it, and that's why I'm giving it a middling 5. Actually, I'm giving it a 5 because there were some superb performances.

Through painfully honest and emotional moments, the movie becomes irresistibly relatable

Journey to Fearless tells the true story of Taylor Swift, a young girl growing up in Pennsylvania who dreams of become a country singer, who picks up her first guitar at twelve years-old. The young songstress goes onto be known as one of the most successful country crossover artists of all time,releasing multi-platinum albums and taking Nashville by storm.Overall, Journey to Fearless was incredibly well put together, it effectively gave fans insight into the real Taylor Swift, life on the rode and her early years growing up on the family's Christmas tree farm, as well as her time spent during summers on the shores of New Jersey. The special combines interviews, home videos, photos and live performances from the Fearless tour to present and accurate look into the life of Swift the superstar. Unlike, many other special, this one is well worth the money. It truly optimizes the lovely young woman Miss Swift is.

With these concert/documentary style experiences, you typically expect two things, on-stage performances and behind the scenes content. Taylor Swift's Journey to Fearless gave plenty of both. Obviously the show was a 2-hour show so getting in every single performance isn't realistic in this setting. You'd have to have an actual movie dedicated to nothing but the concert itself to accomplish that. However, they did get most of the popular song performances in and I really liked how they went about doing that. By essentially exposing the concert as a story with phases, it never got boring or dull. As usual though, the behind the scenes content is why most people tune in for these things. Unless you were a T-Swift super fan, you got to discover how she was discovered and how her family supported her in her dreams. Overall, it was nothing revolutionary but if you're a fan of Taylor and/or her music, this three-episode mini series is worth the watch.
