“Both a deep dive into a pop star's life and a probing look at what it's like to be a woman.”

- Brenna Ehrlich, Rolling Stone

“Miss Americana is a compelling and thoughtful portrait of an artist reckoning with what she’s capable of, and, more interestingly, what the culture will accept from her.”

- Amanda Petrusich, The New Yorker

CRITIC'S PICK. “85 minutes of translucence with Taylor Swift. There's more in it – and more to it – than you usually get with these pop superstar portraits.”

- Wesley Morris, The New York Times

CRITIC'S PICK. “Thrilling...an enormously winsome documentary about Swift's long path to self-acceptance. The power of Miss Americana is in watching someone who stands astride the world gradually realize that her art is the only thing that she can control.”

- David Ehrlich, IndieWire
