Hot Take: NPR Tiny Desk Concerts's third act ruined what could have been a masterpiece
Director clearly thought NPR Tiny Desk Concerts was deeper than it is. There's a difference between ambiguous and unfinished, and this leans hard into the second.

[Serious Discussion] Is anyone else completely checked out by the pacing in NPR Tiny Desk Concerts?
Honestly, NPR Tiny Desk Concerts would be a tight 95-minute movie. Instead we got a bloated runtime padded with B-roll and lingering shots that add nothing.

Why does no one talk about how mid the writing in NPR Tiny Desk Concerts actually is?
Everyone praising the NPR Tiny Desk Concerts performances must have watched a different cut. The lead is sleepwalking through this and the supporting cast can't save it.
