MAU is the first, feature-length documentary about the design visionary Bruce Mau. The film explores his unlikely creative journey and ever-optimistic push to tackle the world's biggest problems with design. Over the span of his career, this creative dark horse has completed the transformation from world-class graphic designer to designer of the world. From advising global brands like Coca Cola and Disney, to rethinking a 1000-year plan for Mecca, Islam's holiest site. From working with the greatest living architects (Rem Koolhaas & Frank Gehry) on books and museums to rebranding nations such as Guatemala and Denmark. Bruce Mau is a pioneer of transformation design and the belief that design can be used to create positive change in our world.

Kate Taylor Globe and Mail The Bergmanns’ sensitive approach to their subject... reveals a visionary accustomed to beating the odds. May 19, 2022 Full Review Josh Kupecki Austin Chronicle The filmmakers end up with a fawning portrait of Mau that never moves beyond the survey course structure of "Mau 101." Mar 25, 2021 Full Review Jason Flatt But Why Tho? A Geek Community Mau is an interesting documentary in so far as it explores how Bruce Mau went from where he began in life to where he is now. Rated: 6.5/10 Jan 4, 2023 Full Review Anne Brodie What She Said Absolutely captivating, weaving a tapestry of intellect, optimism, and the many meanings of design and at its heart, deep common sense. Jun 24, 2022 Full Review Phil Guie Film-Forward.com One of the most interesting aspects of this reverential, yet insightful documentary is how approachable Mau is. Rated: 3.5/5 Jun 23, 2022 Full Review Sophia Stewart Hyperallergic MAU is too charmed by its subject to nail down what he has achieved, or why people should even care about him in the first place.

Maria dP Inspiring and amazing man showcased in a very thoughtful, well put together documentary. You don't have to know him or his work prior to seeing this film. All you need to come with is an open mind and hear what he is challenging us to see and think of our roles in promoting positive change into the world. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 05/14/22 Full Review arie b "think like you're lost in the forest!" Rated 5 out of 5 stars 12/12/23 Full Review Read all reviews
