The latest lego movie - Piece by Piece - that is for some reason a story about the life of Pharrell Williams has hit theaters in the US and will have a bit of a slow theatrical rollout globally over the next few months. I was lucky enough to see the film just a little early thanks to the BFI London FIlm Festival which just wrapped up, with this film being the Closing Night Gala. I have a very soft spot in my heart for Lego but to say I was bamboozled when this announcement was made and when the trailer came out, confirming that this film was actually real, is an understatement. But, was the movie actually good? You can find out in this review!
