3. Katy Perry: Part Of Me (2012)
As documentaries go, Part of Me was never going to be The Interrupters. But taken as the Katy Perry PR machine that it is, even the most die-hard fans might struggle to swallow it. The relentlessly pink and fluffy presentation is enough to make even the most doe-eyed follower vomit, and any segments where she presents herself as lonely or vulnerable are glossed over in a flash. The supposed coverage of her divorce from Russell Brand basically boils down to her having a bit of a cry after a reporter asks "do you miss him?" Mainly though, fans, friends and family will gush about her, she'll perform a stage show that would put the entire city of Las Vegas to shame, and then fans, friends and family will gush a bit more. A critical discursive analysis of celebrity culture this is not.
