Carrie Underwood: Reflection
What's the Story?
For three years, country music artist Carrie Underwood performed in a residency show in Las Vegas called Reflection, and that show is now captured in a feature-length film titled CARRIE UNDERWOOD: REFLECTION. This 98-minute release records one of the performer's concerts at Resorts World Las Vegas and features some of her biggest hits.
Is It Any Good?
If you're an Underwood fan, this concert film is for you, especially if you haven't yet made it to her Vegas show. Carrie Underwood: Reflection is a recording of that show, featuring outfit changes, choreographed dances involving extras, fire, and water, reminiscent pop riffs, as well as, of course, lots of Underwood. Fans might wish for insights via interviews or behind-the-scenes footage, but that's not on offer here.
