Neither the film, nor the film within the film, hold our attention. Bummer, Keanu.

Rated: 1.5/5

New York Post

Director Mark L. Mann seems to be searching for the meaning in aimlessness, and in lowered expectations. But too often the narrative left me feeling the titular "um."

Rated: 2/4

The Hollywood Reporter

Meandering and affected, this tedious character study is as aimless as the lives it depicts.

Cinemalogue

While Reeves brings more depth to his character than the script warrants, the film overall lacks compelling characters and winds up depressing instead of profound.

Film Journal International

A single, plotless day in New York in the company of Keanu Reeves feels like a life sentence.

It's a patience-tester, salvaged only a smidge by Reeves's uncanny ability to remain perfectly still while his co-stars strap on acting school rocket packs and pinball around the frame.

Rated: D

The movie is about as good as the bathroom sex. Two and a half stars for Keanu and Keanu only.

One of the worst movie by Keanu Reeves so far. I have tolerated many "not-so-great" movies starred Keanu Reeves but I just can't stand this movie. So many things wrong with this movie: what is the storyline? What the director is trying to tell us? I am very disappointed with this movie and I would not recommend this movie to any Keanu Reeves fans because they might break down from disappointment like me. One star because the scene where Keanu Reeves was eating a cupcake and going to bed were cute.

Never thought I'd see a Keanu Reeves that I couldn't sit through but this one was tough to watch. Some cool cinematography but absolutely no discernible story.

This movie was not that good, as some people are saying and me watching some of these reviews are high with that being said it was a horrible movie and some of the scenes are boring the only thing interested in this film was Adelaide Clemens she was good to see, and all of her scenes were actually pretty good and gets your attention, other than that I did not like the film.So for this being a really bad movie and seeing one of my favorite actors in a terrible film, I give " Generation Um..... " an F.
