They've built a movement out of minimalism. Longtime friends Joshua Fields Millburn and Ryan Nicodemus share how our lives can be better with less.
A straightforward documentary built around talking heads and lifestyle inspiration, Less Is Now covers familiar ground in the minimalism space that The Minimalists themselves have already well-trodden. The filmmaking is functional but unremarkable, the narrative structure is linear and predictable, and the arguments, while earnest, feel recycled from their books and podcasts. It preaches to the converted without offering new depth or cinematic distinction.
