A few thoughts on One Direction: This Is Us
Play it loud with the records behind it. Midnight Memories and Four hold the songs the tour was built on, from the stomping title track to the ballads the crowds sang back. The film is the noise and the nerves; the albums are what the fans actually came for.
Pop and boy-band stories for One Direction fans
This Is Us catches 1D at their screaming-arena peak, and these stay in that world. Four and Midnight Memories are the band's own albums from those years, while The Idea of You imagines life dating a boy-band star and KPop Demon Hunters turns idol fandom into pure spectacle.
Documentaries and biopics of pop icons
Spurlock built This Is Us around the people behind the fame, and these do the same for other stars. Michael and The Life of an Icon trace Michael Jackson's rise, Moonwalker turns him into spectacle, and Pink Floyd: The Wall and Power Ballad wrap real music worlds in film.
Films about chasing music and making it big
One Direction's story starts with kids auditioning on a dream, and these chase the same ambition. Whiplash pushes it to an obsessive extreme, Saiyaara wraps it in romance, and Coco and Soul turn the pull toward music into heartfelt animation.
