Laufey on Her Concert Movie, ‘A Night at the Symphony: Hollywood Bowl’: ‘I Definitely Don’t Feel Uncomfortable in Front of a Camera, and I Really Discovered It That Night’

variety.com:

Chris Willman Senior Music Writer and Chief Music Critic In reviewing Laufey‘s August concert with the LA Philharmonic, Variety wrote, “Laufey feels like she was born to play the Hollywood Bowl, with her rapturously received pop/jazz/classical set.” Something else she might have been born for: the big screen.

She’s on Imax screens across America this weekend (and some slightly less massive-scale ones as well) with “Laufey’s A Night at the Symphony: Hollywood Bowl.” And director Sam Wrench‘s extended use of closeups establishes that she’s as expressive an actress, in her fashion, as she is a singer, guitarist, pianist and cellist.

It’s a good weekend for Wrench, who also directed the Sabrina Carpenter holiday special that is premiering on Netflix the same day as the Laufey concert film is bowing in theaters… and a good past year for him, actually, since he also did Taylor Swift’s “Eras Tour” film.

But Laufey herself is having quite the year, having won her first Grammy, for best traditional pop vocal album for “Bewitched,” not to mention a sold-out tour that found her playing Lollapalooza with a symphony orchestra as well as being the belle of the Bowl.
