MVD Visual has become a prolific source of engaging and informative music documentaries. Comprehensive and full of vital stats and interesting trivia about their subjects, MVD’s pop and rock docs and demonstrate consistency and the ability to garner interest from even a viewer who has no particular interest in the artist in question. (Even better if it IS an artist of whom the viewer is a fan!) One of MVD’s latest releases dives into the world of one of arguably the favorite princess of country music. For that matter, Taylor Swift’s music doubtless holds sway beyond the confines of country fandom. A definite crossover appeal is to be found in her music that neither compromises its country-ness nor alienates pop listeners who aren’t overly interested in country music. Swift also carries a mien of sincerity and innocence that readily, easily captures the listener’s attention. And the viewer can’t help but be struck by Swift’s gentle American beauty. It mingles with her mien to create a loveliness whose appeal is of a largely different sort than that of, say, Britney Spears. This talk of mien suggests the person behind the music and such a focus is the attempt of “Taylor Swift: American Beauty.” This critically acclaimed documentary reaches for the curtain that hides the world behind the music. This film is for those who not only love Swift’s catchy music but are fascinated by the real American Beauty at the music’s heart.
