I was ready to see some demonically fast solving of Rubik's Cubes. But I was not prepared for this short documentary to be a powerful and moving story about friendship, not to mention a heartfelt look into what it's like to raise a child with autism.
It's beautiful. You will cry. I did.

“When you get to adulthood you have to buy ketchup” is a sentiment that will stay with me for a long time.

I thought this would be a pretty goofy, quick watch but it instead ended up being really heartfelt and a really great way of highlighting autism and the importance of friendship.
I have never in my life solved a rubik’s cube so watching this absolutely blew my mind.

My kids were both really into speed cubing back in 2011-13 and as we're in Melbourne, we saw plenty of the young Feliks in action. I can't claim to know any of these people personally, but can understand the level of commitment that goes into becoming a serious contender (and a world champion at anything I guess) after seeing the amount of hours my two used to spend practicing.
This was a really solid documentary. It could have been a little longer for me, maybe with a little broader story including some of the other kids from around the world, but the Max/Feliks relationship angle was nice and a good representation of what I remember seeing back in the day.…

☆"Just have fun!"☆
Very cute.
No, I don't know how to solve a Rubik’s Cube either.
I think this qualifies as a short film. Right? Is 40 minutes a short? I think so. Anyway, I'll count it as a real film, since I don't see many of these but this is getting some Netflix buzz and it's very well made.
Sue Kim's doc The Speed Cubers follows in the tradition of other documentaries about specific niche clubs, sports, and achievements, leading to a world championship event while following some of the best on the planet -- just this year, see Foosballers, Pipe Dreams, and Spelling the Dream. A short film, the focus is smaller, notably on two prime competitors and…

I've never actually sat down and solved a Rubik's Cube before, but I really enjoyed this documentary. It's a very cute story that's been told here about friendship and this community of people who enjoying solving Rubik's Cubes. It was done in a very interesting style to where I was never bored and it actually made me care about a Rubik's Cube competition because of the people competing.
I don't think I've ever said "aww" as many times when watching a documentary as I did with this. This is an extremely cute documentary that really focuses on a lot of different aspects of Max Park's life, a person who I wasn't aware of before hand. It's really great getting invested…

Damn, what a sweet little documentary. Made me feel... good?
And did you know it’s only 40 minutes long? -
1. I genuinely think this is an amazing documentary
2. Please stop being mean and saying everyone is racist for not liking Cuties
3. It’s Pinkmcflurry(danya)’s big day!!! Go say happy bday to her
4. Now you can partially see my beautiful face
5. I literally just explained my entire week, wow my week was boring -
My roommate has a bunch of Rubiks Cubes, and I have dabbled very briefly with them in the past. However overall, they just have never been my jam. It may be due to the fact that my fingers just can't move fast enough to ever be able to really speed solve a Cube, but the Speed Solving community has also never really captured my attention. However I still wanted to give this a shot as it looked really light and I had heard decent things about it.
And it is decent. It has some decent interviews and it's structured well and it's very short so you are never bored. But a lot of interviews, while somewhat engaging,…
