Lovesusti The Worst Film Ever

Protraph Lack of good storyline.

Brendon Jones It’s fine. It's literally the definition of a fine movie. You’ve seen it before, you know every beat and outcome before the characters even do. Only question is how much escapism you’re looking for.

Kirandeep Yoder The joyful confection is coated in a sparkly gloss, bright enough to gleam from the darkest, most cynical corners.

Erin Pillman This film is excellent! A must-see. 5 stars, hands down. I was so deeply moved by this film for so many reasons. First, the content of the film, so timely. If ever there was a time for interconnectedness and cooperation, this is it! The time is now! And the film illustrates this SO beautiful and poignantly.Also, I was so inspired by Tiffany Shlain's (the filmmaker's) creative process. The way that all these layers of her personal life, creative life, family life, etc, wove together in such an exquisitely beautiful way...and the timing...just incredible!!! I am so grateful to Tiffany for her work. This kind of information / line of thinking is SO important ~ and she makes it so accessible in such a VERY well-done film. I was really impressed. I was also impressed & touched by the beautiful & vulnerable way that she shared herself throughout the film. The world could really use more of this, and I am so grateful to her for being a model of this kind of authentic (raw) self-expression.Please see this film ~ you will love it!

spoofus I want to say that people should go out more. I would like to follow up with my observation that the feeling of connectedness gained from being wired in to the world of short, content-less media is false. I would like to add that spending countless hours passively 'interacting' with trite images, video, and text, is condemnable as the embodiment of the avoidance of social interaction. I would continue with an impression that the current vogue of interconnectivity has not yielded any higher social awareness or pro-activity but, rather, created a new societal underclass of intellectual shut-ins and non-achievers. I would naturally add that this does not fit the hype limited text construct or in any way assuage tender under-achievers self-delusional misinterpretations of self-awareness, but such are the vagaries of actual reality. If a posted picture can speak a thousand words and the viewer only knows two words, how talkative is the picture? I would like to conclude with 'Have A Nice Day' (smiley face not implied or intended).

Nichole Jackson Human responsibility is complex; priorities are often contradictory. In the Twentieth Century, postmodern writers and artists transformed mediums to allow for paradox, but it was not until the twenty-first-century film Connected: An Autoblogography About Love, Death, & Technology that audiences could collectively experience the visual, textual, and emotional beauty of holding complex inconsistencies while moving toward personal growth and global connection. Director Tiffany Shlain exposes the journey by which the global film she set out to make began to kick, cry, and nurse itself into being something more authentic-- more connected--than any one viewer can articulate. Perhaps there's irony in merely writing a review of a film whose visually articulated thesis proposes the new century's possibilities are unleashed by the exponential increase in access to images. Shlain's hypothesis that a technologically interconnected world exercises each individual's image centers can be evidenced now--from the drifts of snow over which Shlain's father first released her from his view to the digitally mastered web of connections that refuse to release the globe from its collective potential, the images in Connected transform viewers into visionaries who don't have to eliminate the contradictions of their connectedness.

james-faerron Connected is one of those rare films that engages, entertains and makes you continually and thoughtfully ponder long after you've seen it.It is one cleverly interwoven film integrating two constructs: One is a big picture adventurous roller coaster ride utilizing found footage, fabulous animation and music to uniquely give a historical snapshot of globalism, humanism, technology, and the interconnectivity between them all.The other aspect is a lovely, emotionally-charged story of Tiffany Shlain's own personal life as she begins to come to terms with her own connections during a challenging time in her life. Tiffany, filmmaker & founder of the Webby Awards, is a thought leader of innovation and it's fascinating to see someone immersed in 21st century high tech question her own relationship to it and the world as well as the good, bad & potential of all this connectivity.Watch this film! You'll never look at life...or even hugging someone the same again ;)!
