A winning examination and celebration of the recently Grammy-nominated album, and a look at one of the world’s biggest pop stars at her most vulnerable and artistically ambitious. Only Swift can put out of her very best albums in the middle of a global catastrophe and release two (!) of the year’s most compelling documentaries (see also: Miss Americana on Netflix).

“Folklore: The Long Pond Studio Sessions” is straightforward and cozy. ... Swift, Dessner and Antonoff perform as a trio on guitars, piano and a handful of other instruments, stripping away some of the fussy intricacies of the album’s studio versions in a way that heightens the songs’ sense of pristine contemplation.

With this film, she just does the two things she does best: making excellent music, and giving people a new reason to talk about Taylor Swift. But at least she’s made sure that this time we’re talking about her for all the right reasons.

It’s an intimate portrait of artists at work, and stands in stark contrast to the very public, very pop persona that has characterized Swift for much of her career.

The film was also directed by Swift and it’s very beautifully done, making the most of the parallels between the luscious, remote surroundings and how they mirror the lusciousness and isolation of the songs. ... It’s a very warm two hours of music that gives the songs a new lease of life, like you’re hearing them in relief for the first time. I suspect by the end that causal fans will be tuckered out, but hardcore Swifties will instantly hit replay.

“Folklore: The Long Pond Studio Sessions” isn’t going to blow your head off, but it’s a fine supplement to one of the year’s most beloved albums, and the so-far rare chance to catch all of the songs “live.”

It is testament to her grasp on the shifting emotional tenor of the pandemic, underscored by her song-by-song commentary in the film. ... Yet specifics on her own “pandemic epiphanies” are elusive. ... The omissions seem coy, even a bit disingenuous, and reveal a limit to the film’s fire-lit glow of cosy intimacy and personal reflection and revelation.

It's not just music but an art. Mad women, exile (ft. Bon Iver), my tears Ricochet and illicit affairs would be my best pics. The one who doesn't like just doesn't understand art.

Such an amazing artist, I love to see her creative process, Taylor really is one of the best out there. Great lyricist, delicate and powerful at the same time. No one’s doing it like her and I know she’s getting better every time she releases something new.
