Critics Consensus

Katy Perry: Part of Me succeeds on the strengths of the pop star's genuine likability, inspiring work ethic, and dazzling stage show, even if it plays somewhat like a PR puff piece at times.

An earnest look at a major moment in pop music history and the life of Katy Perry leading up to and surrounding it. You can't help but enjoy it.

Katy Perry: Part of Me is a commercial, not a diary entry -- and it sticks, far too often, to an already-decided-upon script.

We're left with zero sense of what she's really like as a granddaughter, sister, boss, or friend.

While Part of Me reveals a number of personal moments, the most endearing are the silly ones...

Birth.Movies.Death.

Like fans at a concert, the movie and its audience are a feedback loop of shrieking adoration for a figure who's probably tired of them. And hot diggity damn, is it riveting to watch.

I'll concede it all probably went down easier for me because I'm a fan of her work, but I think this is a good enough that you don't have to know any of her music to appreciate her story.
