Here's what the critics are saying:

Lurking in Morgan Spurlock’s otherwise boostery documentary is a sense of isolation and exhaustion surrounding its dewy subjects. — Jim Farber, New York Daily News

While the 3-D pop-umentary One Direction: This Is Us is entertaining enough for those of us wondering what all the fuss is about, the film fails to offer a fully drawn portrait of the teen idols. It's misleading to call this a documentary — fan fodder is more like it. — Claudia Puig, USA Today

"One Direction: This Is Us" is not a good film, even grading on the curve of the self-produced infomercials disguised as musical biopics that we've seen in recent years. — Peter Hartlaub, San Francisco Chronicle

The new documentary "One Direction: This Is Us" is not the raw confessional that title might imply but rather both a primer and new product presentation. —Mark Olson, Los Angeles Times
