Filmmakers Dan Cutforth and Jane Lipsitz follow wildly popular singer Katy Perry during her yearlong California Dreams tour. During 124 sold-out shows in arenas around the world, the constant camera presence creates both a front-row seat and a backstage pass as Perry performs for thousands of fans, then returns to the reality of her everyday life. Interviews with family and friends complete the picture, as Perry gives her all onstage, then faces the pressing personal challenges that await.

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.

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.

[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.

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

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.

O documentário nos traz a parte humana da Katy, onde o artista fora das câmeras também uma vida pessoal e as mesmas frustações que nós.
