1/10
The same documentary remixed with slightly worse cinematography
25 January 2021
The Minimalists have really become the self-reboot. Their podcast and initial documentary was a breath of fresh air but as their podcast rolled on it became repeated material lacking originality. The same goes for their new documentary.

This seems like a money grab and it could have provided more depth to the idea of minimalism yet it stayed walking along the same road it started on.

There are moments in the documentary where they talk directly to the camera in a presentation like manner, though you can tell they're acting. It is poorly rehearsed and turns out, it's just the same material from their first documentary, their podcasts and their books.

You're probably best to watch their first documentary. 'Less is now' is a watered down version of it. I give this a 1/10 simply because it's almost a word for word copy of the prior documentary.
