Review: 

This is one of those documentaries that J has insisted we watch.  And I'm glad.  Living with a designer, I have slowly started to see elements of design, especially of the bad variety.  The documentary lays out many philosophies of design and how they impact our daily lives.  Very interesting.  I love the idea that design evokes emotion and becomes a part of your family.  Great way to explain it.
