Bom. Mas podia ter focado no tema e não no livro
Interesting points of view that make you think
I wanted to like it, but it just annoyed me. Instead of promoting minimalism it was as if they were trying to promote themselves.
Promoting minimalism by trying to sell a book doesn't sit right with me, but the ideas presented are good
Great documentary series, really interesting and worth watching
I think it was too focused on the two dudes. It wasn’t about minimalism. Just those two that happened to be minimalists
Focused too much on the people spreading the minimalist message, and not enough on the concept of minimalism itself.
Interesting concept, but getting rid of everything in the extreme doesn't seem sustainable and nearly impossible for creative people
I'm all for justice in life, but this doc might be right: radical change is the only way to stop the frankenstein's monster of capitalism.
Everyone should watch this. This could change our life if we would just think a bit more about our waste
