Shawn Mendes: In Wonder follows the young pop singer as he tours the world in 2019, considers the inspirational path that got him here, and confronts his issues with anxiety as he creates his fourth album. In Wonder gives Shawn Mendes the star chronicle treatment, stringing together footage from his 2019 world tour, quieter moments with the singer and scenes of the recording sessions for his new album Wonder. We get a sense of who Mendes is almost immediately. As the camera tracks him through the shadows of the backstage area, we’re rushed into the wide-open space of an arena, dark but for thousands and thousands of twinkling mobile devices. Mendes hugs a fan beyond the lead barrier, touches a few outstretched hands, and leaps to the stage in the center of the room, where his piano awaits. For a Grammy-nominated 22-year-old, with three sold-out world tours and as many hit albums to his name, Shawn Mendes is disarmingly humble throughout In Wonder. It’s refreshing that he seems to realise this, tempering his stardom with respect for those on his team. For as popular as Mendes and his music have become, he’s a product of the digital era, and its inherent detachment.
