Leave your thoughts about How Much Does Your Building Weigh, Mr Foster?.
| Village VoiceBrian MillerBy the time this fawning documentary gets to Foster's CG-animated rendering for a $15 billion planned city in Abu Dhabi (a movie within the movie), you realize it's essentially an infomercial for the company he unsuccessfully tried to sell before the 2008 crash. |
| Radio TimesDavid ParkinsonVeers too close to hagiography, although it's visually arresting enough to carry you through sagging in the narrative. |
| Total FilmTom DawsonThere are no dissenting voices to be heard in Norberto López Amado and Carlos Carcas' movie, but then it's easy to admire Foster... |
| Shadows on the WallRich ClineRenowned architect Norman Foster has created some of the world's most iconic buildings, and this documentary explores the ideas that link them. Although it only barely scratches the surface of his talent and skill. |
| NYC Movie GuruAvi OfferA mildly engaging introduction to the architectural work of Norman Foster, but it barely scratches the surface. |
| Easy Reader (California)Neely SwansonLike the architecture and the architect himself, this is filmmaking on a grand scale. |

| Film Journal InternationalDoris ToumarkineAudiences who embrace high-quality, smartly produced documentaries about compelling and worthy subjects will get their money's worth. |
| Seattle TimesMoira MacDonaldAn informative and inspiring documentary about a man's life and work. |
