Piece by Piece is a bright, clever song-filled biopic that pretends it’s a behind-the-scenes documentary using small plastic bricks, angles and curves to celebrate an artist known for his quirky soul. It is deep and surreal and often adorable. Is it high concept or low? Like Williams, it’s a bit of both.

Pharrell Williams and director Morgan Neville chat with USA TODAY about "Piece by Piece," a biopic on Williams told through Lego animation.

Williams is worthy of the outside-the-box treatment, as his innovative productions have helped redefine hip hop and stretched the genre’s boundaries.
