Leave your thoughts about Generation Um....
| indieWireEric KohnThough ultimately unsuccessful, it valiant reaches for a funky, wild critique of hedonistic sluggards wandering through society with no clear direction. But more than anything else, it delivers Keanu in his element. |
| Blu-ray.comBrian OrndorfIt's a patience-tester, salvaged only a smidge by Reeves's uncanny ability to remain perfectly still while his co-stars strap on acting school rocket packs and pinball around the frame. |
| We Got This CoveredBen KenberDespite strong performances from Keanu Reeves, Bojana Novakovic and Adelaide Clemens, Generation Um... doesn't give us enough of a story to keep us fully invested throughout its running time. |
| New York PostSara StewartDirector Mark L. Mann seems to be searching for the meaning in aimlessness, and in lowered expectations. But too often the narrative left me feeling the titular “um.” |
| New York Daily NewsJoe Neumaier“Um” winds up as empty as its mean streets are phony. |
| Film RacketChristopher NullThe point of the movie seems to be: like, inarticulation, or something? |
| CinemalogueTodd JorgensonWhile Reeves brings more depth to his character than the script warrants, the film overall lacks compelling characters and winds up depressing instead of profound. |
| Time OutSam AdamsAt least Keanu Reeves brings a certain muddled gravitas to the role of an escort-service driver who spends his time idling with off-duty party girls. |
| Hollywood ReporterFrank ScheckPlaying the emotionally shut-down driver for an escort service, the actor provides what little interest there is to be found in this otherwise aimless depiction of urban alienation. |
| Village VoiceMichael NordineReeves is able to make such potentially silly material as this strangely compelling, but his hard work is ultimately a drop in an otherwise empty bucket. |
