Reception
Neil Genzlinger of The New York Times wrote, "The point, which is probably that we're losing ourselves, and our "self," in our electronic devices, isn't particularly new, but the way it's delivered is pretty interesting."
Andrew Schenker of The Village Voice wrote that the film "goes beyond merely communicating what it feels like to have one's consciousness colonized by spectacle, employing its exhaustive catalog of new media in instructive ways."
Ronnie Scheib of Variety wrote that Kotlyarenko "plays with format in an attempt to mitigate the boring sameness of James' encounters, trusting, like too many indie auteurs, that the audience's recognition of its own peculiar demographic reality precludes the need for a script."
Nick Schager of Slant Magazine rated the film 0.5 stars out of 4 and wrote that the film "negates its own critique by so gleefully reveling in the grating digital detritus it pretends to censure."
