Morgan Rojas Cinemacy Why I'm Not on Facebook is a very thorough examination about the social media's effect on our generation, but visually the film looks dated and feels about 5 years too late in its release to fully make an impact.

Audience Member This documentary is, in a word, terrifying. It's dated, as far as the look and feel of Facebook but the message is very relevant. As someone who was reluctant to join Facebook at first but uses it all the time, this was really enlightening. Some of it was a little over the top as far as the stupid stuff people post or do on Facebook but it was effective enough to make me think about deleting my account. I won't do it of course for a lot of reasons but it should be required viewing for everyone. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/01/23 Full Review Audience Member A light snack of a movie, but definitely some food for thought. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 01/23/23 Full Review Audience Member so it's entertaining in such a way that after you watch it you feel you were just rubbernecking at a 3 car pile up... the truths and lies that fly through the ether can make or break anything in its path. i had to watch it twice, the first go around i was left in disbelief... the second go around I made sure to take notes and clean up my FB account. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/23/23 Full Review Audience Member It was pretty much a lesson about be careful of con artists. Certainly, they COULD use Facebook to getcha like he showed. it was interesting. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 01/17/23 Full Review Audience Member Really great documentary and film. Funny. Educational. Even emotional at times. Really enjoyed it. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/20/23 Full Review Audience Member I saw two movies this weekend: one was the Jack Black film Goosebumps, and one was this one. Guess which one is worth your hard-earned money? This one! And you can watch it in the comfort of your own home, alone on your computer screen. Just like scrolling through your Facebook film.
