Piece by Piece

Well i had no clue that we owe so much to Pharrell Williams.

All the music he has been involved with making for 30 years !

Its a lego movie, not your usually type, but interviews with Pharrell and people in his life and who he worked with, all turned into lego in a fantastical type of way.

Its nothing short of excellent.

I learned alot i had no idea about the music industry, and how people work together, and that Pharrell has had his hand is some very successful music over the past few decades.

It is cleverly done, and the characters even talk about being in a lego movie.

By the end of the movie the whole cinema was hopping, clapping and singing along. It was mostly kids.

Pharrell Williams is one of the most iconic and creative artists of all time. Many generations can recognize his music, but few may know his story. From childhood to becoming a global brand, this is the unique story of Pharrell Williams.

This is a unique biopic told through Lego animation, which makes it enjoyable for both adults and children. The story does not get into the nitty-gritty of Pharrell's journey through the music industry. It sticks to what inspired him and how he became one of the greatest music producers ever. The animation is colorful and captivating, and with Pharrell's music, it is even better. The movie feels less than one hour and thirty-three minutes, and it will have you tapping your foot and bobbing your head the entire time. This is a great movie to introduce the new generation to some of the hits we grew up with and share the story of someone who has accomplished so much.

6.6/10 (Recommend, but not in theatres)

This is a mostly family friendly because it's a LEGO-esque style movie, but in reality it's definitely not geared towards families. Nothing really drew me to this film other than LEGO. I like Pharrell Williams' music, but he's not someone I'm dying to listen to or see.

I like the style he decided to take in telling his life story. As a LEGO movie you're able to create anything you want with whatever your imagination can come up with, but despite the flashy pieces and the catchy tunes that some of us would recognize, it still falls flat. I don't feel this biopic is a "woah is me" story despite the rags to riches perspective, but the way things are told you don't get to truly feel the hardships that Pharrell went through to make it big.

The film isn't a total waste of time. I never realized how big of an impact on music that Pharrell had. Creating music for artists such as Snoop Dogg, Jay Z, Gwen Stefani, and Justin Timberlake to name a few. So I did learn something. I would definitely watch this movie once, but I wouldn't see it in theatres if I could go back.

Overall, it's a 90 minute surface story that gives only a fractional bit of info on the road Pharrell to make it big. It definitely has a "go after what you want" subplot, but you also need to work hard. It's a flashy film that uses LEGO, but it never truly hits the emotional chord. I wouldn't recommend seeing in theatres, or as a family (unless you like the genre of music). There's only one swear word in the film, but it's mostly bleeped out except for maybe three times. In the end though you can't deny the impact of Pharrell. He's had his hand in some of the biggest songs that I've heard, but would never have pegged him to.

That's it for now. Thanks for taking time to read my review. Happy watching and enjoy the show!

Piece by Piece is a stunning exploration of creativity through the medium of LEGO animation. The film captivates with its vibrant visuals, particularly the breathtaking sea, speed boat and sunset.

What sets this film apart is its narrative style, utilizing interview voices to weave Pharrell's story within the fabric of the animation. The rhythm of the beat is palpable throughout, making it not just a visual treat but an auditory one as well, creating a deeply immersive experience.

Don't miss it in a cinema. It's made for the big screen with its vivid colours and super sound track played loud!

A biopic about Pharrell Williams but it's done with legos, cool and original. But you have to ask your self who was this made for? Cause it's to boring to be a children's movie and most adults would not watch this cause they would think it is a children movie. I watched it my self last night and I found my self quite bored, this biopic being done by Lego was the only thing saving this movie otherwise no one would be interested aside from Pharrell Williams super fans. Also I don't know how focus features have been surviving all year, they're the only movie company where the theater has been consistently empty every time I go even piece by piece only had a total of 5 people. The 2 other movies I've seen by focus features this year the auditorium was completely empty and I was the only person in the audioturm, that's very rare for me to be all by my self in a theater.
