I love this movie so much

hyped garbage

Best movie ever!

The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.

Keanu Reeves has starred is some terrible movies before, but none worse than this. In fact, the only good thing about this movie is that Keanu Reeves is in it. That's it.How this movie made it to release is beyond understanding. How this movies make it to DVD is beyond understanding too. What a waste of good blank DVD's.If my dog made a movie diary about it's life without Keanu starring, it would have been BY FAR a better movie.The director should be made to work on a tin-can production line for at least 5 years as punishment, and the script-writers should be imprisoned on charges of Vandalism and Assault (if not worse), and serve the sentences consecutively.Atrocious is the best word to describe this. A complete waste of talent, a complete waste of space, a complete waste of money, but above all a complete waste of time. Your time. My time. Everyone's time.If you respect yourself a little even, then steer clear of this no-movie.

The film has just that by launching in this question, we are what we wanted to be, we are sorry to walk alongside this endless void, I think it is a film with many questions, above all, about what you do every day, about what drives you to do, as the deliberate moment john steals the camera and decides to film every piece of your life, with frustrating parts, others still, in short something monotonous where all around desperately trying to live the moment, but don't know how.From beginning to end, allows us to wonder if at some point things will change for the 3, as a drama, or as a movie genre as slice of life, then it is clear how it stays cool, where the character tries to john those around questioning moments of your life. Perhaps a dry film way in passing how life really is, sadly.

We have a technical first with "Generation Um..." a ShakyCam production done using what sounds like the on-board ShakySound mics! If the script and direction were killer good, that might have made this forced cinéma vérité work. The problem is it doesn't, and I walked out of the theater feeling really cheated.For gosh sake, if you have enough money for an A-list star like Mr. Reeves, grab your shots with the benefit of at least a pro camera, stabilization, lighting and on-mic sound. If you don't have the budget for that, refinance until you can do it right! If you don't, you are ripping off audience members who paid to see what they assumed would be a professionally produced theatrical film!

After watching Generation Um for the 4th or 5th time, I finally figured why I enjoyed this film so much - because it felt relevant.Not that I sniff cocaine or I hang out with two beautiful girls in their apartment; but relevant with their feelings of loneliness, suffering, and existential crisis (also perhaps most important for a mid 20s - being broke).It was crazy how I could be fascinated with a close-up shot of Keanu eating a cupcake, but that was exactly what Mark Mann has done.The camera work was to be praised too, all the vibrant colors of New York, even until all the odd decors in the house. Felt like I was traveling there through Keanu's camera.'Stalking' the characters for a day made me feel like wanting to know them more, their stories and struggles, how did they became who they were then. I felt like sitting in one of their conversations, not necessarily to participate, but merely to watch and be empty of worries, even just for a little while.
