John Wilson, creator of HBO’s How To with John Wilson, makes his feature debut with a hilarious investigation into one of the world’s most ordinary materials. What begins as a documentary about concrete becomes an eccentric, unexpectedly profound journey through New York, creativity, mortality and the strange people and places Wilson encounters along the way.
“Consistently laugh-out-loud funny, compelling and surprising.” — Adrian Horton, The Guardian ★★★★
