Steve Norwood has reviewed generation Um… for Letterboxd for the DVD release. He has given the film 3.5 stars. In addition to telling a bit about the film, he also makes the following points:
- If you are impatient you will most likely bale on the film a few minutes in. On the other hand if you continue to watch you find that the film takes on an intriguing form as it progresses.
- It show cases Keanu Reeves acting talent and people that watch the film will see just how good he is,
- Novakovic’s character is truly hate-able but she has some redeeming moments by the end. The loathing that her character elicits speaks to Novakovic’s acting chops.
- Clemens has the more disconcerting and more subdued role and she does quite a good job of it.
