🎬 MovieFinder's Take
The documentary constructs its narrative around the vivid memories of the artists themselves, relying heavily on archival footage and present-day interviews. It explores the magic of tactile, hands-on craftsmanship in a pre-digital age.
What lingers after viewing is a profound appreciation for the patience and ingenuity that shaped an icon. The film is a tribute to the human hands behind the simian faces. — MovieFinder Editorial
