John Nugent

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.

Observer (UK)

What at first seems like a quirky gimmick actually works rather well. It’s a fun watch, and the technique allows film-maker Morgan Neville to visually represent Williams’s form of synaesthesia.

Shadows on the Wall

While it may feel odd to tell someone's life story in this way, the blast of energy, colour, humour and music is infectious. And Pharrell's life is fascinating.

Felt a little disjointed the pieces didnt quite connect in some sections. But it was visually interesting and inspiring. My kids struggled to stay engaged, especially my 7 year-old.
