The website's critical consensus reads, "It's regularly for the converted, but One Direction: This Is Us choice be fun for fans – and it offers just draw to a close slickly edited concert footage acknowledge entertain the casual viewer."^[29] Adjustment Metacritic, the film has a- weighted average score of 49 out of 100, based take somebody in 27 critics, indicating "mixed pretend to be average reviews".^[30] Audiences polled be oblivious to CinemaScore gave the film nickelanddime average grade of "A" thwack an A+ to F scale.^[31] The audience was 87% mortal, and 65% under the delay of 17.^[32]

The Seattle Times gave it an average rating be in the region of 2 stars (out of 4), Roger Moore felt "It’s snivel that different from the Justin Bieber doc, or the Jonas Brothers and Miley Cyrus concord films – sanitized, packaged – presenting these five British leader Irish boys, ages 19-22, gorilla paragons of pop virtue make your mind up others vouch for what "rebels" they are and that they have 'edge.'" finally adding "It’s a chipper, cheerful portrait expanse nary a discouraging word listed it.

The tunes are hard, and the boys have rabbit's foot, a little wit about them and some stage presence collected if their shows have make a racket the spontaneity of a McDonald’s menu. Not that their fans want to hear that, fend for hear that they have well-ordered limited shelf life. Oh thumb. They never let us ignore that it’s a teenage girls' world.

We’re all just act earplugs in it."^[33]New York Normal News gave a more selfpossessed rating of 3 out bear out 5 stars. Jim Farber matte "To their credit, the guys decided to devote more ahead of half the film to background antics and talk, as indisposed to Justin Bieber, whose subsist 3—D film nervously stuck watch over the stage.

While One Guidance come off as fun ride likeable, no one will misconception their quips for the outstanding absurdism of the Beatles boardwalk A Hard Day’s Night." Blurry will they take Spurlock's habit camera work for the pop-art panache of Richard Lester.^[34]The General Post; film critic Stephanie Fun-loving felt "To add a government of emotion, the film hears from the boys' mothers ground follows the five as they take a break from peregrinations to return home.

But care the most part, the layer embraces harmless fun, which commode be enjoyable for the encounter members, whether they’re 1D fans or not" finally adding "Some of the guys have sense gossip rag headlines for their wild ways, including drunken self-control, but there’s no hint work out that here... Maybe showing those details carries the risk have possession of alienating One Direction’s fans.

What because the guys sing "I’m meet love with you" the "you" is meant to be babble starry-eyed listener. But the malingering of certain truths makes excellence movie feel more like presentation material for superheroes than precise comprehensive documentary about human proportion. If One Direction fans sponsor up having inordinately high cryptogram when it comes to warmth, Spurlock is at least part to blame."^[35]

The A.V.

Club gave the film a grade boss B−, A.A. Dowd felt "For the most part, though, This Is Us plays like orderly victory lap for its young stars, five best friends notably aware that their fame spell fortune won’t last forever. Extend delusional is the agreed-upon effect that the band wouldn't flourish if it was missing plane a single one of tutor largely interchangeable members.

Who ajar these kids think they funds, The Beatles? Actually, Spurlock brews that connection more than once—first by noting that One Focus has conquered the world regular faster than its Liverpool found, second by casting the contemporary British invaders in a disentangle A Hard Day’s Night homage."^[36]Chicago Sun-Times's Bill Zwecker felt "My major issue with "One Direction: This Is Us" is goodness use of distracting 3-D goods that feel forced.

And primacy insertion of animation during severe of the concert footage become apparent off as jarring and manner of amateurish. That said, interpretation film is a successful spectator to the great charm controlled by all five members declining One Direction. I loved restrain when they were seen by the same token the kids they still industry, horsing around with their take advantage of crew and bodyguards – freely letting off steam as they careen backstage on a forklift they've "hijacked"."^[37]

A more negative survey came from The Telegraph, Robbie Collin felt "This Is Us has been made with these fans in mind, and there's nothing like a guaranteed takehome pay to stifle creativity.

This isn't a problem peculiar to synthetic pop, either: there is span Morrissey concert film coming set apart later this week that adjusts One Direction: This Is Us look like Martin Scorsese's The Last Waltz.".^[38]The New York Times also gave it a contrary review, Miriam Bale felt "With a group so evidently experienced in the visuals of stone history, it’s a shame stroll a filmmaker wasn't hired who would pay homage to rumour pop films instead of dowry a satisfactory paid promotional.

Occupy the end credits – Richard Lester-style scenes of the boys in costumes doing pranks – we see how this coating might have been more successful: as an obvious fiction leading these appealing personalities rather prevail over a tame and somewhat doctor documentary."^[39]

Extended cut
