Austin Chronicle

It's the rare 19-year-old who's in a position to commission and co-produce a film about himself. Clearly, with this kind of involvement, we can hardly expect Justin Bieber's Believe to be an impartial document.

Rated: 2/5

It's for the fans. And on that level it works.

Rated: 2.5/4

Entertainment Weekly

When the movie occasionally does confront its hero's foibles, its answers are disappointingly pat.

There's nothing wrong with making a documentary about the Biebs, but you wish the filmmakers had thought a lot harder and dreamed a little bigger.

Director Jon M Chu throws a few curlies at Bieber about fame, philanthropy, artistic integrity and the bum fluff growing in the space between his nose and his mouth where a mustache would normally go.

The movie gives you a view of Justin Beibers Tour Believe. Behind the scenes and interview with him and with his fans. I like the movie because it looked real and shows the kid really has a talent.

I'm sick and tired of people in the music business wasting my time and money with a documentary about their long 18 or so years of life. Justin Bieber use to be a charming somewhat talented kid who was then discovered and became an egocentric, rude, Delinquent who still somehow gets supported by his teenage girl fanbase which only likes him because he is a beautiful young man. this leads me into my next complaint why the hell is somebody this young getting a biopic made? what has he contributed to society besides being jerk off material to underage girls, piss in a janitor bucket, curse out Bill Clinton, get a DUI, and sing like every mediocre singer today? the answer is not a God Damn thing. And "Believe"? believe in what? that fame and fortune can make a decent kid into a big douchebag and a turd stain in the underpants of entertainment? Frankly, i can't "believe" this guy got a movie let alone Two! i hope to never see these kind of egocentric biopics of people still in their teens to early twenties ever again which is pretty much out of the question because Hollywood is so desperate for ideas that they are digging into the deep compacted tunnel, which is their ass and pulling out such abysmal and unworthy creations that are too expensive and give the audience nothing to take away from it. 0/5 stars
