Pacionsbo Absolutely Fantastic
TrueHello Fun premise, good actors, bad writing. This film seemed to have potential at the beginning but it quickly devolves into a trite action film. Ultimately it's very boring.
Catangro After playing with our expectations, this turns out to be a very different sort of film.
Logan By the time the dramatic fireworks start popping off, each one feels earned.
akilianetc-23277 I like how the filmmaker follows 4 notable social media icons, especially Paris Hilton, as they use their online presence to create something bigger than themselves. I think Bert Marcus does a splendid job approaching industry notables to share the rollercoaster ride that follows when deciding to share your life for millions to watch - also get a glimpse of their life and insight. This documentary is a 'must watch' as it helps the viewer better understand that there's more than meets the eye.
fredtrims This title is excellent. I recommend this film to both young and more mature audiences, as the perspectives of the viewer will be quite different, but the enjoyment that you will feel is universal. Young people will hopefully be warned and for older audiences, there is so much to learn...
wyatt-francesca I loved this movie! I laughed hysterically throughout, but also felt so sad and disturbed all at the same time. It's one of the most original documentaries I have seen and I loved the way that the movie takes you behind-the-scenes with such public figures in such a private way.
katehot122 I saw this film last night at Hot Docs in Toronto and had little expectations going in. I use social media, but I am certainly not immersed in the world. I was truly entertained, captivated and in awe of the subjects of THE AMERICAN MEME from start to finish. I laughed the entire way through, while learning a great deal, and felt deeply for the characters. One thing that surprised me about the movie was that it was a lot deeper and a lot more serious than I thought it would be. I was scared and sad when it ended and I am still thinking about the film and my own personal interactions with social media today. I was also surprised about how diverse the audience was, which was pretty crazy. There was an 80 year old with a walker laughing her head off and a 12 years old sitting next to me (although probably not appropriate for a 12 year old...).Anyways, go see it. It's pretty amazing.
