Taylor Swift’s ‘Eras’ film is a simultaneously intimate and spectacular documentary of her record-breaking, earth-quaking, career-spanning tour.

Sure, that’s probably redundant. And yes, oldsters will need a couple of Ibuprofen when it’s all over. But to fully appreciate “The Eras Tour,” a simultaneously intimate and spectacular documentary of Swift’s record-breaking, earth-quaking, career-spanning victory lap of the past year, it’s best simply to surrender to the whole thing: the sparkly cowboy hats, the boots, the friendship bracelets and the screaming .
When it comes to “The Eras Tour,” that parallel world isn’t such a bad place to be. Filmed with multiple cameras during Swift’s engagement at SoFi Stadium outside Los Angeles, this impressively immersive chronicle has every technological gizmo at its disposal but wisely keeps things simple.
That segment - set to a ballad from Swift’s 2020 album “Evermore” - is one of the most effective moments of “The Eras Tour,” during which the singer-songwriter shape-shifts into different personae through extravagant costume changes. Swift isn’t the most instinctive or graceful dancer - her moves are limited mostly to posing and pointing, strutting and smizing - and, after three hours, the uninitiated might be struck by the repetitiveness of her music.
