Colossal waste of time. Lots of people bumbling around talking about industrial design in very general terms. It never gets to the meat of anything. Defines SLOW.

Nice look inside design and design theory that expounds upon some of the examples I remember from a design class.

I am a lover of design and design philosophy. You don't have to be one to enjoy this documentary. When you get the great Dieter Rams, Jonathan Ive and Marc Newson into one program talking about design philosophy you think to yourself that the world could be a better place because of them - they are today's philosophers ... IMHO

Utterly tedious. Who cares? Well, maybe if you're a designer. But I'm not. Big fat yawns. I turned it off.

Avi Offer

NYC Movie Guru

Has sporadically intriguing moments and stylish editing, but its lack of insight, elaborations and synthesis makes it seem deficient in both form and function as a documentary.

Rated: 5.0/10

This is an offering for those that can spot the beauty in objects from beamers to toilet bowl plungers.
