Synopsis
ariana grande: excuse me, i love you (2020) is a concert documentary capturing performances from Ariana Grande's Sweetener World Tour in London — watch it online on iFILM. Director Paul Dugdale filmed the show at The O2 Arena and wove in rehearsal footage, road life, and time with the crew alongside the full stage performances.
The Sweetener tour ran in 2019, following one of the most compressed periods of Grande's career: two albums in a year and the long shadow of the 2017 Manchester Arena attack. The live band numbers around twenty performers, including long-time collaborator Victoria Monét, and the set covers both Sweetener and Thank U, Next in full. The show is big — production-wise, emotionally — but Dugdale's camera finds the smaller moments inside it.
For fans already invested, this is the version of the tour with the angles and backstage access a stadium seat can't give you. For anyone coming to Grande's live work fresh, it's a clear-eyed look at what the scale of that kind of pop career actually looks like up close. Stream excuse me, i love you online on iFILM.
