For a while it was entertaining to see all the examples of the font all around town, and to learn more about the history, but the interviews seemed to veer from informative to pointless very quickly. Maybe because I don't know a lot about WHO the people were, but it just seemed like Person A: "I love Helvetica, use it all the time" Person B: "I never use Helvetica. I hate it. Down with the establishment!" Person C: "I only ever use Helvetica and I'm famous and rich." . . . It's not like any one person had a winning argument and hopefully anyone interested in seeing the film has already thought a little bit about the font to begin with. It'd be a good thing to show to college kids, but I can't say I'm likely to go in for repeat viewings. So I finally Netflixed “Helvetica” and I have to say I wasn’t in love with the film.
