Leave your thoughts about Under the Electric Sky.
| The PlaylistDrew TaylorUnder the Electric Sky shows you the transformative, incredibly positive power of dance music, but in terms of a movie, it falls a little flat. |
| Village VoiceSam WeisbergUnder the Electric Sky manages to be amusing even while it’s annoying you. |
| Arizona RepublicKerry LengelUnder the Electric Sky is a bedazzled (if not quite dazzling) 3D documentary. |
| New York PostSara StewartConcert sequences are engaging, though I was disappointed not to see any animated flourishes. |
| Los Angeles TimesGlenn WhippThe movie presents the best possible version of the event without the massive lines, drugs, drunkenness and hellish traffic. |
| The Hollywood ReporterJustin LoweThere’s no shortage of eye candy on display, with acrobats, dancers, fireworks and carnival rides providing a colorful backdrop to the fairly formulaic story arc. The lack of specific background on the event's origins and history is somewhat frustrating, however, since the 85-minute runtime could certainly accommodate further exploration. |
| Slant MagazineEd GonzalezJust as queerness is conspicuous by its absence, so is any serious consideration of the drug use that often pairs with extended tastings of EDM. |
| The New York TimesNicolas RapoldThis glossy movie from Dan Cutforth and Jane Lipsitz about the Electric Daisy Carnival in Las Vegas feels the burden of promotional urges and lacks a sense of immersion in a multistage event attended by hundreds of thousands. |
| VarietyDennis HarveyThe pic provides lots of sexy, neon-hued eye-candy but not many images of deeper resonance. |
