John Wilson’s Next Documentary Will Reportedly Show Audiences ‘How to’ Tour Like Harry Styles
He made a guy getting surgery on his hand feel like the most profound human connection I'd ever seen on screen, so the idea of him applying that same gentle, probing gaze to the machinery of a Harry Styles show makes me genuinely giddy. The whole joy of Wilson is that he doesn't mock; he just watches. I'm curious if Styles knows what he's signed up for, letting a man who films his neighbors through windows document the most curated, guarded corners of his life.
I think the best possible version of this is not about Styles at all, but about the people who follow him. Wilson has this knack for revealing the quiet desperation and beauty in the mundane rituals we build around our heroes. A tour is a perfect petri dish for that. I'd want to know how much access he really got, and whether he'll show us the bored merch sellers or the crushing disappointment of a city the tour skips. He might just expose how the fantasy is built, brick by brick, and that's far more magical than the fantasy itself.
