Objectified (2009)

Felt like it should have been interesting, but didn't really say anything new when it bothered to say anything at all. Most of the film seemed to be a parade of designers pointing at their stuff and tossing off duh comments like "you shouldn't notice good design." When the most interesting portion involves a man who designed a cell phone to invoke memories of a knife-peeled potato, you know there's not much going on.

I didn't learn anything useful and the last ten minutes were almost a flat-out plea for sustainable design and loving what you already have. I've read better, more thoughtful articles on the subject in magazines and on the web so there's not much reason for this to exist in film form. It's just not good enough.
