"Connected has been one of the truly thrilling experiences of Sundance 2011, and easily the best documentary in competition. Director Tiffany Shlain delivered what was, improbably, both the most thought-provoking and the most personally emotional documentary of the whole festival. It will change your thinking, and what more can a documentary do?"[1] -Michael Dunaway, Paste Magazine[2]
"Indeed, Shlain’s film does go wide — it’s like a rubber band stretching in multiple directions while not breaking. Examining the ways in which technology can productively unite our global citizenry, Connected details nothing less than the history of consciousness and its arrival within today’s always-on, hyper-wired mind."[3] Scott Macaulay, Filmmaker Magazine[4]
"A highly energized romp through a myriad of ideas about where the human race is headed."[5] James Greenberg, The Hollywood Reporter[6]
"The excerpts (from Connected) shown were not just beautiful but deeply resonant, and it was hard not to be swept along by the elegance and optimism on the screen."[7] David Shaywitz, Forbes Magazine.[8]
