The rise and fall of one of the biggest YouTubers in the world whose feel-good videos masked the dark and reckless new ethos of online celebrity culture.

Caroline Siede

Fox 10 Phoenix

While Neistat occasionally struggles to shake a YouTube-honed sense of melodrama as he builds up to some of the more dramatic events in the Dobrik saga, in the end, what stands out most about "Under The Influence" is how even-handed it is.

A very absorbing, very disquieting, very meaningful-for-our-time documentary...

Neistat inadvertently uncovers that Dobrik and his ilk live and die not by the sword of the public, but by that need for clicks.. theyre clickbait personified, an attention suck, and as a culture, we should try our best to divert our attention elsewhere.

Rated: B-

John Fink

The Film Stage

An OG YouTuber like Casey Neistat is perhaps one of the only people that could make the film in this way, with this level of access, but he lacks some critical distance needed for deeper insight.

Rated: C+
