Audience Member A friend had recommended this documentary. I somehow knew right away it would be something special. I loved it. I can't stop thinking about it. I felt like at the end there was some uncertainty in what was made by Stefan but to me the final piece is much more interesting than what he originally had intended. The film has so many layers to it.. I still feel like my head is spinning. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/25/23 Full Review Audience Member Great documentary! Stefan Sagmeister may not be the most loving person after this film, but the guy is definitely a great designer. His work has truly inspired me as I myself am a Graphic Designer. A true in-depth experience on the realization that life isn't always about being happy, but about going through the obstacles that determine your aspirations for happiness. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/28/23 Full Review Audience Member Funny, sad, amazing, and creative. I am happy to watch this multiple times - from the girl in florence :) Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/13/23 Full Review Audience Member I like very much works and HAPPY film!!!!!!!!! by designer Stefan Sagmeister ///there are all Stefan's works come to life!/// I was in Bali, when I watched it, it was day of Silence. it was amazing!!!! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/06/23 Full Review Audience Member Even if you are not a graphic designer you can thoroughly enjoy this movie. The perfect balance between artistic and a good( real) story line. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/20/23 Full Review Audience Member Surprisingly insightful movie. Creative way to explore the themes of happiness, love and loss. I thoroughly enjoy watching all of Stefan's efforts to live a more meaningful life - as a nurse working in the psychiatric field, this is a wonderful film that I will encourage clients to watch Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/22/23 Full Review Read all reviews
