Aug 24, 2021 While it does seem more promotionally driven like part of a tiny genre categorizing feature-length commercials, it does genuinely delight enthusiasts with proudness over showcasing their stuck creativity from inner imaginative youth which impresses general spectators who would also enjoy the given historical insights and Bateman's playfully gentle narration.

Jul 16, 2020 I really liked this documentary, even though I am not a Lego user. I was amazed at the creativity and ingenuity of all the designers, both professional and consumers. I did not feel like it was an advertisement for Lego at all. I loved that the film showed how autistic children are being helped when Lego building is socialized, as well as that the Lego company had to re-evaluate its business practices to meet customers' desires, or go out of business. One of my favorite parts was "The Art of Brick," where an artist had a gallery showing of his re-creations of about 100 classics like the Mona Lisa and The Scream, in both 2- and 3-dimensions. There were a couple of times where the film seemed to drag a little during the first half, but I was loving it by the end. See more

Nov 16, 2019 For any fan of LEGOs, and those who once enjoyed creating with bricks, this film is a great way to round out one's knowledge about the scope of cultural influence the bricks have had on our global societies. For all those "top critics" that panned the movie as a corporate promotional - Newsflash: It's a product, produced by a company... how about not confusing a thoughtful exploration of how a manufactured product has influenced several generations and created a culture all its own with a treatise on the ills of capitalism? This is the kind of film that calls for some indulgence of subculture and a dose of optimism - and not its opposite. See more
