I saw it at the 2024 Toronto International Film Festival
First, Pharrell Williams is not a musician I really like, but I did enjoy some of his work growing up in the 2010s. This documentary about his life and career, while standard in structure and presentation, the direction and use of Lego Animation as a form of storytelling to tell Williams’ story was interesting and certainly something that had never been done before.
the settings, colorful backgrounds and environments were a very nice touch
With interesting interviews, musical score and cast discussions, it’s nice and enjoyable to listen to Williams describe his childhood and passion and uses the style of Lego Animation. I appreciate that the filmmaker took a different approach in presenting this documentary.
