    Sweet, hits you in the feels.

    I know nothing about Rubik's Cubes or the art of speed-cubing, but I thoroughly enjoyed this documentary. I just clicked on this randomly expecting it to be forgettable, but I felt so much emotion during this docu, so if you're like me and you know nothing about cubing, you'll still learn something: the power of friendship.

    I WISH IT WAS LONGER

    40 minutes was not enough. Did end feeling bitter sweet though, wanting for more, so Sue Kim did great haha. This was just so heart warming to watch. Made me tear up a lot. Feliks is such an amazing soul and Max is so inspiring to watch. I love this so much. I wish Max and Felik's the best in their lives. They deserve the world.

    Stimulanting

    A documentary about the cube owners. Follow the story of two boys who have been world champions in building cubes at speed. The interesting thing is not only to see the competition, it is to see the vision that parents have about one of the boys who has autism, the total support they give him. Entertaining. Quality. Stimulating Talk about discipline, solidarity and friendship. Of short duration which makes it digestible and easy to see.

    Really touching.

    If you're a film junkie like myself then you'll appreciate the time and effort that Sue Kim and everyone else put in to make this happen.

    I enjoyed it. Not my place to say where it could have been improved. It is what it is.

    Thank you.

    Friendship and Parenting at the heart of this short film

    My heart went out to the parents of Max and to Feliks. This short documentary masterfully told a beautiful story between the unconditional love of the parents of Max and his special friendship with a world champion cuber Feliks, As someone who is not a cuber, the drama is still very intense and the relationships formed around Max warmed my heart. This is a gem that will likely be overlooked by many but i am so glad to catch it on netflix.

      Schwan Park (Max's Father): I know in cubing, people start to slide down the rankings about the time that they would normally enter adulthood. Because *life happens*. You have to pay rent, you have to find a partner, you have to buy ketchup. I mean, there's all these things that you have to make happen. You just can't cube as much.
