What people are saying
Updated nightlyPeople love the humor and originality of John Wilson's attempt to sell a Hallmark-style documentary on concrete, even if the actual history of concrete gets less focus. The joke of the premise lands perfectly, with Wilson's signature awkward charm carrying the film, though a few felt the central subject got lost. Some cameos, like Suzanne Ciani and Tim Robinson, are surprise highlights, while others, like Nathan Fielder, left people cold. The only real complaint is the pacing, which almost everyone found agonizingly slow.
