You wish you’d seen more of this Taylor a long time ago. But that’s the point of the whole movie, maybe: She was always there; it just took her 30 years to get to here.
What's ultimately very endearing about Swift is her intelligence and self-awareness, qualities that also make her music compelling, sophisticated and capable of appealing both to adolescent kids and hipster musicologists.

Report
One of the strongest emotions that come through in the documentary is that the singer wants to be in control of who she is, her narrative, and her choices. So, it’s only fair that she is in control of her documentary because it will be watched by millions.
Perhaps the most charming element, beyond the constant presence of Swift’s cat, are the moments capturing Swift’s songwriting process.
Lana Wilson's doc is engineered to appease her fans and promote Swift's self-awareness, and yet it leaves one feeling that there is still so much more to be discussed about what makes Taylor Swift who she is.
The film looks away from that pure artistry too often, turning instead to its limited, and far less satisfying, view of Swift’s complicated star profile.
It’s brand management dressed up as insight and while it’s not not entertaining, it’s certainly far from particularly revealing, playing more like a PR exercise then a festival-worthy feature.
Taylor consegue demonstrar que é extremamente talentosa na produção de documentários normais e musicais, como o Long Pong
Report
Miss Americana is a documentary made up of twos. It has two very distinct parts which are made up of two types of scenes. The first type of scene is pretty much just a behind the scenes clip, honestly, this was the parts I enjoyed the most, even though I’m not a fan and didn’t know most of the songs in it, it was kind of cool watching these things come together. The second type of scene is everything else, and this is where the problems start to come out. It hits every note it wants to hit and does everything it’s expected to do, but nothing more. The entire thing comes off as formulaic, like if a computer was asked to make a Taylor Swift documentary. It’s good, I couldn’t find many things outright wrong with it, it’s just that it feels soulless. But there are some real flaws in the film. It, whether intentionally or not, is divided into two parts. In the first, Taylor rises to fame only to have her reputation tarnished by a scandal involving Kanye West. In the second, she must gain the courage to speak up against things she knows is wrong at the potential cost of her career. It isn’t necessarily bad that these are the plots, it’s just that the filmmaker ties the first part up in a nice bow, and then moves on to the second one, rather than having them flow. It gives the appearance of being a 6 act film which really makes it drag around the middle, since it lost its momentum ending the first part. It doesn’t help these two parts have very different themes, the first being about fame and the second about cultural issues, this makes the parts even more separate. Some foreshadowing of the cultural themes could have eliminated this problem. And my final point, Miss Americana would be better as a movie, with actors. A documentary has limitations that stops this one from telling the story it wants to tell. I could point out multiple points in the film where a film could have done it infinitely better. I recommend Miss Americana for any fans of Taylor Swift, but there’s not much there to keep someone who doesn’t like her music engaged.

it is a good documentary, but I think it only showed what Taylor wanted, she is one of the greatest pop artists and the movie was very poor for someone of her level.

This shows how much disconnect Hollywood has with the real world.
Once a person hit the fame bell, surrounded by all different kinda people (managers, CEO's,...) that maniupulate you into not knowing any better you get this kinda situations.
