An astounding exploration of the corrupt media that has shaped today's society into a mindless behemoth that knows more about Lindsay Lohan and Paris Hilton than it does the C.E.O.s who have made greed into a "positive" trait.

Seattle Times

A well-meaning but overreaching documentary that strains to make a Theory of Everything argument about power and powerlessness in America. Ultimately, it fails to convince about much of anything.

Rated: 1.5/4

The film includes a disappointing amount of the mutual-admiration fluff that show-business types traffic in; everyone thinks everyone else is great and blah blah blah.

Rated: 2.5/5

Recalls It Might Get Loud in capturing an experiment done for no reason other than to see what happens when creative minds smash together.

Its a bit vague and times but is a doc that has more than a few interesting points about young peoples relationship to media, apathy, and activism

Just finished. This was kinda cool. Interesting watching artists of a specific genre creating music of another genre. Big fan of Mark Ronson but I really really like what Pretty Lights did for the country song Wayfaring stranger. And who knew rapping over classical-ish music could be so engrossing.

I was really excited to see this doc. About half way through I realized that this documentary was just a ploy by the GRAMMY's to try to understand electronic music. This film is better suited for your grandparents learning to be hip and cool rather then yourself. However, the artist and the music that comes from this collaboration to strictly amazing. Save some time and just watch the last ten minutes. You won't miss anything!

An impressively executed concept. Some of the collaborations were more interesting to me than others, but I thought that reflected the scope of the project. Anyone with any interest in music will probably find something to like.

Ehh. I was a big fan of this genre and this wasn't a very great film. If you are interested in the idea of how electronic music is made, then definitely check this out.

No matter what words I type here, my opinion's going to seem somewhat biased. I've become an electronic enthusiast, but this film brings great appreciation to any genre of music and the hard work put into making great songs. As cheesy as it sounds, true magic was made in these 90 minutes of cinema.
