Sandra Hall

Sydney Morning Herald

The soundtrack is stuffed with hits but you’re not given the chance to settle into any of them. It’s also well stocked with platitudes and you are given plenty of time to mull over these. Too much time.

Rated: 2.5/5

Empire Magazine

Piece By Piece’s very existence is baffling, and the Lego of it all is never entirely justified, but as an unconventional documentary of a maverick musician, it works — just about.

Rated: 3/5

Financial Times

Take the plastic away and we’d also miss some insightful flights of invention: hot new beats glow from shelves like alien lifeforms. And celebrities in Lego form is a durable running joke.

Rated: 3/5

Esquire UK

It’s an efficient little movie that has plenty of dazzle and charm, even if the more nuanced, less plasticky version of the story stays firmly in the toy-box.

Piece By Piece is a very unorthodox film, from its content to its medium of execution. However, the high risk made for a high reward.

Piece by Piece truly soars when it embraces the potential of its LEGO building blocks, with imaginative visuals to match Williams’ famously omnivorous approach to production and songwriting.
