Just as a disclaimer, this film is not an extended music video of the song by Katy Perry. The movie is actually half a concert movie, half a documentary, detailing Katy Perry's rise to the stage and demonstrating how she put together her California Dreams Tour in lieu of a tumultuous relationship, marriage, and divorce.
This is when we finally get to see Katy Perry without makeup. (Though, to be fair, it does look like she has a habit of wearing it to bed on some nights). We are taken through every aspect of her tour, from traveling back and forth, choosing backup dancers, and designing costumes. We hear from her sister, her closest friends, and even her grandmother. Katy herself also comes clean about a lot of things, including her relationship with God and her views on true love.This movie shows just why I love "RockDocs" (although in this case it should be called a "PopDoc"). The documentary Rush: Beyond The Lighted Stage will always be my favorite, but at the same time, it's nice to get some insight into a different type of artist once in a while. Am I a Katy Perry fan? To a point. She has good songs, and her music has a very happy tone to it, so yes, I enjoy listening to her. But I did admire how this film reaffirmed my opinion of her as a genuinely good-hearted person.
Katy Perry: Part Of Me is a must-see for anyone obsessed with Perry, or just anyone who wants to see a celebrity in their bare skin.
Overall rating: 7/10
