James Greenberg The Hollywood Reporter 02/04/2013
A highly energized romp through a myriad of ideas about where the human race is headed. Go to Full Review Sara Stewart New York Post 10/14/2011
1.5/4
This pro-Internet "declaration of interdependence" has all the narrative focus of a Twitter feed. Go to Full Review Paul Brunick New York Times 10/13/2011
2.5/5
There are a lot of vibes in this film, most of them vaguely positive. If only "Connected" had a stronger center of gravity. Go to Full Review Christopher Long Movie Metropolis 05/22/2013
5/10
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. Go to Full Review Sean P. Means Salt Lake Tribune 02/04/2013
3.5/4
The end product is brain food beautifully disguised as eye candy. Go to Full Review Brent Simon Shockya.com 10/22/2011

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. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

07/03/2014 Best documentary I've ever seen! See more 07/03/2014 This is such an amazing and inspirational film See more 10/22/2013 A lot of ideas. A lot of potential. It never gets there. Wherever, "there" is. See more 09/19/2013 Inintéressant et incohérent See more 04/07/2013 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.... See more 03/29/2013 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.
