Watch Generation Um... For Free

I like the storyline of this show,it attract me so much

It's an amazing and heartbreaking story.

It’s not bad or unwatchable but despite the amplitude of the spectacle, the end result is underwhelming.

what a terribly boring film. I'm sorry but this is absolutely not deserving of best picture and will be forgotten quickly. Entertaining and engaging cinema? No. Nothing performances with flat faces and mistaking silence for subtlety.

I can't believe it has only 4 stars!!! I've just watched the movie. Some people talks about over acting, I don't think so, there's a lot of girls that behave that way. About the camera, well it is supposed to be done by a completely amateur, don't you remember the time you try to film something with your first camera? (I know it wouldn't be actually his first camera, but it is for sure his first professional camera). And the plot, I think people who rated it with 1 star haven't really understood the movie. It's just as simple as a guy who decides to film his birthday and think about his life, his average living day, just that; there's no fantasy, there's no a superhero, there's no a miraculous event that changes his life completely, that's why this movie is so awesome, makes you think how people behave in front of others and how their life really is. I would totally recommend this film, if you are tired of Hollywood's unbelievable stories this is a must see.

It's difficult to make a film about ennui and apathy that's not itself ingrained with those very qualities, and GENERATION UM is a case in point. If you're not engrossed after 10 minutes or so, be advised, the rest of it's not much different than the start. Anyone who wants a good old-fashioned solid storyline with suspense, surprises, something in the way of character development, and all that sort of stuff is likely to be very disappointed.Many will rent or buy this simply because they want to see some gritty, raunchy stuff: Those people are also likely to be disappointed. As a character study or thematic think-piece, there are some interesting fleeting nuances, but they hardly carry the film. {But that's just the point: These characters are bored and apathetic and don't feel much like talking about their childhoods, what they want out of life, etc.}This film gets three stars from me because of its immediate realism, natural acting, and detailed camera work--the footage of NYC is quite captivating in places. Yet, these elements are not much use when the plot is so forlorn. Again, plotlessness is the entire point in portraying 24 hours of down-and-out on-the-edge existence in NYC, but I'm obviously not the only one who, despite this film's good intentions and fine ironies, found it hideously dull.

Why some people think that nothing happens in this movie, it's about nothing? At first glance - right, nothing happens, just an ordinary day routine, just a guy stole a camera… But please look inside the film; look deep into the heroes' souls! You'll see a hell, struggle, pain,flight, dying love.. All the action takes place inside a man, the movie is about the transformation of human soul.The camera gave them possibility to look at themselves the other way round. Confession allowed to take the hidden pain out….. and the process of catharsis starts. John's question "and what you really are?" – culmination point of the film, it's main idea. Everybody should ask himself once "What I am? Why I am? What's the essence of my life?" And Violet's reaction, one drop of tear, give us a hope that these people are not the lost generation. A very dramatic film, an extremely realistic! If not the famous actors I would take it as documentary. Its monotony fascinates. A Zen film. not for everyone. An excellent acting!! My great thanks to film creators for this job!

This dud, "Generation Um" holds a bit of interest in the beginning for the first 20 or 30 min up until the director/writer decides to film a movie about Keanu Reeves filming young women doing things like peeing. This movie is base, vapid and completely devoid of plot. It lacks any narrative or integrity, and was terrible to watch even through fast- forwarding over half the runtime. We'd like stories without featuring creepy stalking weirdos making home movies of 20 something angst-filled disturbed young women whose lives are all in flux. Director Mark Mann has failed in his story by removing Reeves from any active part in the movie. This movie is easily the worst movie I've seen of 2013. There probably are worse movies, but I haven't nor do I want to endure them.
