Movie Reviews of Helvetica
Movie Review: A film about a font? YES!! Way better than you could imagine.
Summary: 5 Stars
Absolutely riveting for graphic designers! This is a must-see for any designer! A terrific lesson on the history of modern type. It's presented with a quirky take on how Helvetica was born in the 60s, rejected in the 90s and then loved again in present day. Outstanding filmmaking and shot with an eye for design (much like One Hour Photo). A great soundtrack and superb image quality make this one DVD to keep!Movie Review: Well made and well recieved
Summary: 5 Stars
Helvetica is a documentary about Helvetica. Doesn't that make you want to watch it? I wanted to. It's actually about way more than just Helvetica, it's about design, type and the people and places involved in it, past and present. El Ten Eleven is featured on the sound track, A+ Gary Hustwit. Extremely well made and throughly interesting, Helvetica is a must for documentary lovers and designers.Movie Review: Fifty year history of visual culture
Summary: 5 Stars
A documentary loosely organized around the subject of the ubiquitous modern font, Helvetica. Helvetica is really the taking off point; the filmakers have interviewed some of the most articulate graphic designers of recent decades as they discuss the evolution of graphic culture against the background of social movements, commerce, digital technology. Fascinating. Loved it. Highly recommended.Movie Review: Fantastic!
Summary: 5 Stars
This is SUCH an entertaining documentary on a font! (Who'da thunk?!) I showed it to my high school students who insisted on a repeat performance. We laughed at the seriousness of some of the designers. The best part is the gal who suggests that Helvetica is responsible for the Iraqi war. What a great little film and commentary on contemporary urban culture. LOVED IT!Movie Review: Excellent!
Summary: 5 Stars
This is an excellent movie, particularly for beginning designers; it introduces students to one of the most common typefaces, and how prevalent it is in the world, to some of the biggest players in the industry, and outlines a major area of discussion (making the word "dog" express itself or having the typeface "sit up and bark"). A valuable introduction.
