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

This vibrant and whimsical documentary is unconventional in the best way as it takes you through the life of the hitmaker from his childhood in Virginia through to his success in music.

Stuff.co.nz

It’s certainly not the most compelling music documentary out there, even just from the past year, but Piece by Piece is a provocative, near-pitch-perfect match between artist and format.
