It’s fine. It's literally the definition of a fine movie. You’ve seen it before, you know every beat and outcome before the characters even do. Only question is how much escapism you’re looking for.

Worth seeing just to witness how winsome it is.

Excellent and certainly provocative... If nothing else, the film is a real conversation starter.

Story: It's very simple but honestly that is fine.

It's strange that the meeting of these two people provides the basis for a documentary. Really, this documentary is about how Bjork is developing her music style to reflect scientific concepts/observations of the natural world, and make music more interactive. She is literally making songs that structurally and lyrically talk about crystal formation, lightening, and gravity. Some of the ideas she discusses are really innovative and engaging. Like the app accompanying the album that is actually being used in schools for educational purposes.Throughout the interview Bjork seems kind of put off by Attenborough's observations about herself and her music. I found this was a weak point in the documentary; these people seemed not to know how to interact with each other.

This film caught my eye for the same reason I imagine many will have come to it – the title which makes it seem very much about the meeting between Icelandic musical oddity Bjork and the unmistakable David Attenborough. I was curious about why and how this would come off and assumed it would be a discussion about each other's world. In reality although this meeting is a central part of the film, the vast majority of the time is about the overall focus on the process of Bjork putting together her Biophilia project, which brings music, nature and technology together. This album I had enjoyed although I had not experienced it through the various apps and other experiences that came with it.The actual meeting of the title is probably the weakest spot because it isn't totally clear what use they are together. As a fan Attenborough seems excited but too often Bjork seems to be doing that "over- listening" thing where she maybe isn't following his point but still makes noises and faces to show she is listening. It is a meeting that has some interest but for me mostly it felt a little awkward. The rest of the film supports it well and I was glad it worked because it took me a minute to warm to the project. This partly because Bjork struggles to make her mind and aims accessible to someone uncreative like myself – at worst it comes off a little pretentious and meaningless. Fortunately the film does well to show how these ideas grow and take shape in the use of technology, the use of different types of instrument and the creative structuring of the music as an experience; this helps overcome some of her words because it makes sense and it impressed me regarding her creativity and vision. This sense of learning and being engaged helped overcome some of the very heavy "promotion" aspects – the narration was a bit too gushing for me and sometimes it seems we were all meant to just be amazed by this project, but it did enough to semi-cover that side of the film up.While the presence of Attenborough is headline, there are plenty of others making input and working with her and they tend to have a specific role within the project and thus their input is of more consequence and interest. So, while the title may be misleading and actually refers to the weaker parts of the film, there is still a lot to enjoy if you like Bjork and her music, because this does a good job of getting you close to the process and familiar with what she was trying to achieve. For those that don't care for Bjork but do like Attenborough though, there probably isn't too much to be said here.
