Piece By Piece (2024) | Rotten Tomatoes (1) 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 Dec 5, 2024 Full Review Piece By Piece (2024) | Rotten Tomatoes (2) 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 Nov 13, 2024 Full Review Piece By Piece (2024) | Rotten Tomatoes (3) Danny Leigh 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 Nov 13, 2024 Full Review Piece By Piece (2024) | Rotten Tomatoes (4) James Croot 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. Jan 10, 2025 Full Review Piece By Piece (2024) | Rotten Tomatoes (5) Maria Lattila Film Stories The film’s final act feels rushed, but Piece By Piece is endearing, playful filmmaking. Rated: 4/5 Dec 19, 2024 Full Review Piece By Piece (2024) | Rotten Tomatoes (6) Whang Yee Ling The Straits Times (Singapore) The memoir is a clever fit of form and subject.
