very sanitised narrative, was indulgent but entertaining and I’d say not a kids movie.

Piece by Piece is a largely factually accurate recounting of Pharrell's career in music, although there are some minor omissions. For the most part, Pharrell's story is reimagined through LEGO but with a certain sense of authenticity afforded by the number of artists who appear in interviews. However, some elements aren't as pronounced in the film. This includes Pharrell's earliest lessons in music, with many of his inital teachers left out of the story. Instead, the film sees Pharrell pick up drums and skip to taking music at school, where he met Neptunes co-founder Chad Hugo.

[Pharrell and Chad Hugo] are engaged in a lawsuit at the time of writing, a falling out that is not addressed in the film.
