Film Review - Piece by Piece

PIECE BY PIECE 1

2014’s “The Lego Movie” was an enormous hit, surprising many with its hefty box office take and strong reviews. The feature inspired a gold rush of sorts with the toy brand, with additional offerings made in Lego-inspired animation quickly pushed into production. However, audiences weren’t as welcoming, and by the time 2019’s “The Lego Movie 2” was released, viewers moved on to other matinee options. It’s been five years since a Lego picture was produced, making “Piece by Piece” all the weirder, as it isn’t a grand adventure with big characters and master builder action, but a documentary on the life of Pharrell Williams, directed by Morgan Neville (“STEVE! (martin) a Documentary in 2 Pieces,” “Won’t You Be My Neighbor?”). It’s a bizarre idea, turning the days of a producer and performer into Lego-vision, offering a PG take on an R-rated life. “Piece by Piece” takes some getting used to, but there are spirited moments in the effort, and artful visuals help to support a sanitized version of the Williams experience.
