Movie Reviews of Helvetica
Movie Review: If you are interested in graphic design...
Summary: 4 Stars
If you are interested in graphic design... you'll love this documentary. Many of the 20th century's top designers are interviewed. I found it fascinating.Movie Review: Boring, even for a movie about a typeface
Summary: 2 Stars
I have a high tolerance for slow documentaries, but this one was pretty dull. There were some interesting bits; talking heads that got really passionate about art and design, stories about the old days of typesetting, etc. But too much of the film was pretentious filler.Movie Review: Bad Documentary!
Summary: 1 Stars
This is a terrible documentary. It is a story without a plot, and many, many "examples" of Helvetica shown are, in fact, other san serif typsefaces! The film editor obviously isn't sensitive enough to typeface design to recognize the difference between Helvetica and other san serif designs (for example, Bloomingdales dept store!). A bad disappointment, one of the most wasteful DVDs I've ever seen!
