SnoReptilePlenty Memorable, crazy movie
Rijndri Load of rubbish!!
Kien Navarro Exactly the movie you think it is, but not the movie you want it to be.
Fleur Actress is magnificent and exudes a hypnotic screen presence in this affecting drama.
Emil2015 The film makes you not only reflect on the difficulties seniors have with technology but also on the amount of effort required in ageing with grace and remaining relevant as a senior in today's fast paced society. It brigs attention to the need to integrate this very important demographic back into our everyday lives and treat the elderly with the same respect and dignity that our ancestors have done over the ages. The picture does a great job demonstrating the ways technology can help with achieving such a task. It reminds me of multiple generations living under the same roof - which is proved to have tremendous health and social benefits in society - only in this case, as stated in the film, by living in a "virtual house".
tess-221-25381 This film is truly much more than just a 'film' - it defines a turning point in today's tech-charged world. This is the largest generation gap we've seen since the age of Rock n' Roll, and this film and campaign aim to bridge this digital divide while connecting two groups of people . It's a beautiful documentary with many heartfelt moments and lots of laughs. But also an educational and inspiring piece with a lot of take- away learnings. This doc is a true family film. Whether you're a tech- savvy young person, a parent of teens and a child of a senior, or a curious senior yourself - this movie has something for everyone to relate to!
Olive Matuka Went to see this with my senior mum and we both had a great time; fantastically sweet, heartfelt, hilarious and inspiring. And totally spot on that technology has come on so fast and strong that it leaves anyone to whom a cordless phone was a big deal in its wake. In my mid-40s I can barely just keep up with what's going on out there; I can't imagine how it's been for my mum and her generation! (well, I do know since I was the one who walked her through Computers 101, and it was nearly as painful for me to teach her as it was for her to learn!:)) Can't recommend it enough; everyone should see it - if not for a laugh, then to see the reality of what - or who - lies on the other side of the techy explosion. Totally great.
wilson trivino The digital age has transformed the world for older folks but for the millennials have not known a world where they were not connected. In Cyber-Seniors, millennials cross generational lines to the greatest generation and teach them how to surf the information superhighway. The cyber-senior project has some unexpected consequences; they also created a bridge of understanding between the young and the old and made them realize they are more alike than different. It also shares some of the seniors past and you discover why they are the greatest generations. Set in Toronto, the story is timeless and is a warm story. This movie has some funny moments, as when they are trying to explain "unfriending" on Facebook. A touching documentary on the beauty of bringing the world a little closer a creating a few Youtube stars. Check out this beautiful tale on the positive side of the world wide web. I saw this film as part of the Atlanta Film festival.
