One Direction: All the Way to the Top

Fresh: With a group so evidently versed in the visuals of rock history, it's a shame that a filmmaker wasn't hired who would pay homage to classic pop films instead of offering a satisfactory paid promotional. – Miriam Bale, New York Times, Aug 30, 2013

Fresh: A reasonably intriguing, if rather sanitized, look at these seemingly likable young entertainers. – Claudia Puig, USA Today, Aug 29, 2013

Rotten: "One Direction: This Is Us" leaves the larger questions it points toward teasingly unexplored, making the film little more than a harmless keepsake. – Mark Olsen, Los Angeles Times, Aug 29, 2013

Fresh: For the most part, the movie embraces harmless fun, which can be enjoyable for the audience members, whether they're 1D fans or not. – Stephanie Merry, Washington Post, Aug 29, 2013
