"
Helvetica
spins its wheels for a good part of its rather short running time, making the same points over and again, with diminishing effect each time."
Film Journal International
Chris Barsanti
2.5/4
"
Helvetica
makes a game attempt to understand how typefaces have been applied to contemporary modes of information and how battle lines have been drawn about their usage."
Slant Magazine
Ed Gonzalez
3/4
"Though their interest sometime borders on obsessive, [director] Hustwit's stellar roster of experts parse Helvetica's origins and implications with engaging passion and striking articulateness."
TV Guide's Movie Guide
Maitland McDonagh
2.5/5
"A little like a study of the American Civil War that discusses the Confederacy without mentioning the Union."
Goatdog's Movies
Michael W. Phillips, Jr.
"Appropriately, once the final credits roll, you’re likely to sit through them with an enhanced understanding of the typeface they’re in."
