Variety

Timoner, who has become a more graphically energized filmmaker, has made a kaleidoscopic movie that has us hanging on the details of meme stocks, diamond hands (holding onto a stock no matter what), and cryptocurrency.

Timoner's film suffers by trying to do too much too quickly, pushing so many ideas into one film in an effort to almost overwhelm the viewer instead of educating them.

Daniel Fienberg

The Hollywood Reporter

The film wants to separate the signal from the noise in the public discourse, but it’s so enamored with the sensory madness that it just becomes more cacophony.

Common Sense Media

But while it adds a lot of eye candy to The New Americans: Gaming a Revolution, it also takes away from thorough, easy-to-understand explanations of the various topics it takes on.

Cinemalogue

While its rapid-fire barrage of graphics and information might fit the topical subject matter, it’s also a reflection of how this documentary about the uneasy convergence of social media and high finance is more ambitious than coherent.

Deadline Hollywood Daily

Timoner returns to her forte, which is an uncanny ability to intuit the vicissitudes of pop culture while embedding herself in it while it’s happening.
