Katy Perry: Part of Me is a commercial, not a diary entry -- and it sticks, far too often, to an already-decided-upon script. Go to Full Review Dana Stevens Slate 07/06/2012
We're left with zero sense of what she's really like as a granddaughter, sister, boss, or friend. Go to Full Review Marc Savlov Austin Chronicle 07/06/2012

[It] isn't so much a movie as a canny, inoffensive slice of brand management and marketing. And as such, it's not half bad. Go to Full Review Mara Reinstein Billboard 01/26/2024
While Part of Me reveals a number of personal moments, the most endearing are the silly ones... Go to Full Review Andrew Todd Birth.Movies.Death. 09/01/2019
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. Go to Full Review Micheal Compton Bowling Green Daily News 04/11/2019
