This film presents the daring, playful, endlessly creative Danish architectural prodigy Bjarke Ingels. With unique insight into Bjarke's personal life, we follow him over a period of six years while he is struggling to complete his largest projects yet, the Manhattan skyscraper W57 and New York's new World Trade Center.

Somewhat incredibly, the buildings come to life: Kaspar Astrup Schröder puts Ingels's remarkable communication skills to work through a series of sketches and chats, and then shows us the finished products.

Clearly, the architect and the filmmaker are tight, which does not entirely benefit Big Time.
Village Voice by Chris Packham
Director Kaspar Astrup Schröder’s gorgeous film is informed by that same charm and intelligence the way a sailboat is informed by 7 knots of westerly breeze.
The Hollywood Reporter by Frank Scheck
Articulate, charismatic, engaging and clearly brilliant, Ingels seems to have captivated the filmmaker so much that Big Time suffers as a result. Neither scholarly enough to fully satisfy architecture buffs nor distinctive enough as a biographical portrait, it falls somewhere in the bland middle.
Schroder and his subject do have a nice casual familiarity; hopefully he’ll check in on Ingels every ten years or so.
