Brian Lowry CNN.com Gaga: Five Foot Two never quite feels as spontaneous or illuminating as the access would suggest, unless you’re totally gaga about Gaga. Sep 12, 2023 Full Review Amanda Petrusich New Yorker The film is personal in a way that made me uncomfortable -- as if she were meting out chosen bits of information, little hunks of meat tossed into a pit of crazed alligators. The image is flattering to no one. Sep 12, 2023 Full Review Ed Potton Times (UK) Gaga is on volatile form... yet can be excused a few nerves given that she will be performing in front of a global audience of 117 million, and there's enough self-awareness to temper the divadom. Rated: 4/5 Sep 29, 2017 Full Review Utkarsh Srivastava Firstpost If you want a look inside the life of a very successful singer and meet the woman behind the persona, this one certainly fits the bill. Rated: 3/5 Sep 12, 2023 Full Review Sinead McCausland Film School Rejects Despite the different settings in which the disorder affects Gaga, one thing’s clear: it’s not adding to her art, but acting as a hindrance to it. Five Foot Two shows a woman’s pain without any added commentary other than the subjects’ own.

Mesh M Love her so much ❤️ Lady gaga LEGEND Rated 5 out of 5 stars 10/06/24 Full Review Audience Member For me, “Gaga: Five Foot Two” (2017) is an amazing documentary that makes me love Lady Gaga even more. This film takes us behind the scenes of her work on her fifth album, JOANNE, allowing us to see a side of her that we’ve never seen before. It showcases the challenges she faces, including the illnesses she endures, giving us an intimate look at her creative process and the pain in her personal life. It also features behind-the-scenes footage of her spectacular performance at the Super Bowl. The storytelling in this documentary is both artistic and honest, allowing us to witness Gaga’s vulnerability alongside her incredible strength. The film doesn’t just share information about her life and work; it makes us feel closer to her in ways we never imagined. For me, “Gaga: Five Foot Two” isn’t just a typical music documentary; it presents an authentic and unfiltered perspective that helps us understand the many dimensions of Lady Gaga. I think it’s a must-watch for anyone who is a fan or anyone looking to understand this extraordinary artist on a deeper level. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 10/06/24 Full Review Rylov C She has a diamond heart, and I'll love her forever. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 09/14/24 Full Review Alexis D Lady Gaga se muestra vulnerable, da a conocer su creatividad de forma espontánea Rated 5 out of 5 stars 06/14/24 Full Review Josues R I watched this when it originally came out and it was such a deep and personal view into her creative process for the Joanne era. I wish we had one of these for ever album. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 06/13/24 Full Review Marco Antonio P "Gaga: Five Foot Two" is a deeply engaging and honest documentary that impressed me with Lady Gaga's vulnerability and authenticity. Chris Moukarbel's direction captures intimate moments that reveal both the struggles and triumphs of the artist. Watching Gaga confront her chronic pain while maintaining a high-level career is inspiring. This documentary humanizes the superstar, showcasing her strength, resilience, and dedication. It's a truly captivating and revealing experience. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 06/02/24 Full Review Read all reviews
