Look, this is a love letter to Hideo Kojima. If your teen is deep into gaming culture, knows who this guy is, and has expressed interest in game design or creative careers, this could be genuinely inspiring—showing the messy, collaborative reality of making art.
But let's be real: the 6.6 IMDb and 3.3 Letterboxd ratings tell the story. Even people who wanted to love this found it a bit... much. It's reverential to the point of being slow, and unless you're already invested in Kojima's work, you're watching a documentary about a guy you've never heard of making games you've never played.
For the right kid (17+, gaming-obsessed, creative-minded), it's a solid watch. For everyone else? You'll be checking your phone within 20 minutes. This isn't a mass-appeal doc like Free Solo or Jiro Dreams of Sushi—it's for the converted.
