The Minimalists: Less is Now Analysis

The Minimalists: Less is Now (2021)

Directed by: Matt D'Avella
Written by and Starring: Joshua Millburn, Ryan Nicodemus
Streaming on Netflix.

I expected that this would further deeply explore the ideas in the earlier documentary - Minimalism: A documentary about the important things - a documentary that changed my life. It influenced my career choices, it still influences the way I spend money. It made me realize how we are constantly made to feel inadequate. But this documentary just reiterates everything that they already said in the first one. Sure, it's good to be reminded of something like this. Hence, a rewatch wouldn't hurt. But I expected more. They could've at least focused on stories of people who implemented Minimalism into their lives - instead of literally repeating a lot from the first part. 

If you haven't seen the 2015 Minimalism documentary that came out on Netflix yet, do check it out. It could be just another random watch. Or life altering. You never know.
