Review of A LEGO Brickumentary (2014) by Gustavo T — 05 Feb 2016

A LEGO Brickumentary is an extraordinary film that's incredibly entertaining and lots of fun. Narrated by Jason Bateman, this documentary looks at the history and cultural phenomenon of Lego building blocks.

Through various interviews with company designers and Lego enthusiasts, an extensive look is given into at how new product lines are created. The film also explores some of the more unusual uses that Legos have been put to; including modern art, child therapy, amateur filmmaking, and city engineering.

And in typical Lego style, there's a real child-like wonder and lightheartedness to the tone. While it may be a bit niche, A LEGO Brickumentary provides a peak into a fascinating world where imagination comes to life.
