Movie review: Small Is Beautiful: A Tiny House Documentary

 
 Small Is Beautiful: A Tiny House Documentary follows four people who build their own tiny homes seeking freedom from debt.

Dee Williams, Ben Campbell, Nicholette Codding, Mitchell Mast, Karin Parramore.

Small Is Beautiful: A Tiny House Documentary begins with brief interviews introducing us to the four tiny home owners and their reasons for avoiding the traditional housing market. Along the way the documentary gives us a nice introduction to tiny homes and their construction. While the tiny home fad is interesting and this documentary a good start to understanding it, what it doesn't do is discuss things like sanitation, building codes, or issues with placement.

Being a documentary there wasn't much acting in this one. Yet, the characters all did fairly well.

Camera work and backgrounds are well done. Dialogue was good though it felt the focus was on the people rather than the houses. Sound and soundtrack are good.

If you have heard about the tiny house movement and want to know more this is a good place to start. If you know about it already this one will likely be a boring waste of time for you.

Nothing here to limit audience age.
