Ricardo De Querol El Pais (Spain) 09/16/2024
The most controversial thing about the documentary is that some talking heads agree that there is a pattern in this kind of appropriation and that it is linked to systemic racism in the cultural industry. [Full review in Spanish] Go to Full Review

Peter E 07/28/2024 This may be the dumbest movie. Someone claiming they own a phrase?!? So dumb. See more David J 02/28/2024 A couple of nobodies tried to make a big amount of money by sueing Taylor Swift, and they lost... but CNN gave them a little consolation prize... sad... See more Ryan Mark C 02/08/2024 This is so stoopid. The fact that it even got its own documentary is weird. See more Daniel C 12/18/2023 I love how it takes on a real problematic, short simple and controversial, the "swifties" will probably think otherwise. See more Jeff W @thesparrow85 10/21/2023 Bands like the Stones, Led Zeppelin, and others have stolen and have been stealing from African-American artists throughout history. That fact is indisputable. In the case of Taylor Swift, this is/was just a feeble attempt at a cash grab by writers who tried to claim that a phrase that had been in popular culture many years before either song had been released, was solely their's. In a poor attempt at journalism and documentary filmmaking, this film tried to do to Taylor Swift what many others have done to other artists who are at the peak of their careers; get a piece of them anyway they can.
