James Greenberg The Hollywood Reporter A highly energized romp through a myriad of ideas about where the human race is headed. Feb 4, 2013 Full Review Sara Stewart New York Post This pro-Internet "declaration of interdependence" has all the narrative focus of a Twitter feed. Rated: 1.5/4 Oct 14, 2011 Full Review Paul Brunick New York Times There are a lot of vibes in this film, most of them vaguely positive. If only "Connected" had a stronger center of gravity. Rated: 2.5/5 Oct 13, 2011 Full Review Christopher Long Movie Metropolis Perhaps we're evolving into a race of Da Vincis. I think it's vastly more likely we'll continue to streamline methods for sharing cat videos. Rated: 5/10 May 22, 2013 Full Review Sean P. Means Salt Lake Tribune The end product is brain food beautifully disguised as eye candy. Rated: 3.5/4 Feb 4, 2013 Full Review Brent Simon Shockya.com Tiffany Shlain's rangy, autobiographic treatise on technology and modern life has a soul, and bristles with a hunger and intellectual vigor lacking in many modern American films. Rated: B+ Oct 22, 2011 Full Review Read all reviews

Audience Member Best documentary I've ever seen! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/22/23 Full Review Audience Member This is such an amazing and inspirational film Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/17/23 Full Review Audience Member A lot of ideas. A lot of potential. It never gets there. Wherever, "there" is. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 02/23/23 Full Review Audience Member Inintéressant et incohérent Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 02/12/23 Full Review Audience Member Had to check the making date mid watch; I could understand the gushing over enthusiasm for the "innerned" if it was made in 1997 but made in 2011.... Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 02/22/23 Full Review Audience Member Simplified history with a heart but it's very self indulgent. As empathetic as I am to her loss, she narrates as though she is the only one who has ever struggled. She grew up in a very privileged world and as much as I feel for her, I got tired of listening to her "whoa is me." She states things her parents said, like no one else ever said them. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 02/06/23 Full Review Read all reviews
