Synopsis: Part narrative, part documentary, and part animation, What the #$*! Do We Know?! was filmed with the intent of expressing the neurological processes and so called "quantum uncertainty" of life.

Critic Reviews

  • Rene Rodriguez, Miami Herald
    Shot and acted with all the skill of a late-night infomercial. More...
  • Steven Rea, Philadelphia Inquirer
    As an entryway into new ways of thinking about the self, the universe, and the vast infinite whatnot of whatever (you know what we mean, oh wise one), this little movie is big. More...
  • Peter Howell, Toronto Star
    The film with the year's most unfortunate title also happens to be a candidate for the year's worst film. More...
  • Rick Groen, Globe and Mail
    A pretty good documentary. More...
  • John Monaghan, Detroit Free Press
    Sometimes What the #$*! Do We Know!? has the corny, ham-handed feel of an old 16mm educational movie, but I'm not sure how intentional this is. More...
  • Jonathan Rosenbaum, Chicago Reader
    Ultimately it's limited by its compulsion to knock our socks off at every turn and to compare itself with Alice in Wonderland. More...
  • Lou Lumenick, New York Post
    Two hours of New Age hooey. More...
  • Jack Mathews, New York Daily News
    Quantum Bull-Bleep would be a more apt title for the conclusions that the movie draws. More...
  • Wesley Morris, Boston Globe
    A terribly self-satisfied lecture about the ubiquity of quantum physics in spiritual life. More...
  • Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times
    An impenetrable human parable and a hallucinogenic animated cartoon. More...
