John Wilson’s The History of Concrete: A Supersized, Meandering Documentary
TL;DR Summary
Vulture film critic Alison Willmore calls The History of Concrete a supersized, affectionate meander that expands John Wilson’s How to With John Wilson format into a 100‑minute essay about creativity, impermanence, and life under capitalism, anchored by concrete as both material and metaphor and punctuated by detours—from Rome’s ancient structures to a sidewalk gum-remover and a Queens 3100‑mile race.
