About

A screening of the documentary film "The History of Concrete". Filmmaker John Wilson, after the finale of his TV show, searches for a new creative outlet: having attended a workshop on how to write and sell a Hallmark movie, he tries to apply the same formula to a documentary about concrete.

Critics

6.8Good

Critics praise the director's playful, unpredictable tangents, wry humor and human curiosity that turn a dull subject into something funny and revealing. They fault its meandering, self-indulgent structure and excessive length, saying it feels like a stretched TV episode rather than a focused film.
