Critic Reviews for Netizens

A timely film that ought to summon everyone's outrage.

Bruce DeMara
Toronto Star
Insightful and quietly furious.

NOW Toronto
A powerful and honest look at a global epidemic.

Ed Gibbs
Little White Lies
Cynthia Lowen, who produced the disturbing 2011 doc Bully, scores another infuriating triumph with her directorial debut, Netizens, which follows three victims of online sexual harassment and defamation.

Sam Weisberg
Village Voice
NETIZENS is an arresting cry for solidarity.

Jim Ross
TAKE ONE Magazine
It's not easy to watch 'Netizens,' but this revealing documentary ends up as a must-see for everyone interested in justice and fair play.

Betty Jo Tucker
ReelTalk Movie Reviews
Although the film goes to great lengths to chronicle its protagonists' suffering, it also humanizes them, delving into their respective backstories to depict them as more than just victims.

March 25, 2019 | Rating: 5/5 | Full Review…

Phil Guie
Film-Forward.com
What Netizens ultimately does is make a case for a complete rethinking of how society views women and sex, arguing that the right to privacy does not have to conflict with First Amendment concerns.

Andrea Thompson
Cultured Vultures
Perhaps Lowen's greatest achievement, though, is the way she conveys aspects of patriarchy and misogyny that are much more complex.

December 22, 2018 | Rating: 10/10 | Full Review…

Marisa Carpico
The Pop Break
...keeps covering the same ground, and never quite tackles the root problems of this kind of aggression and how it's facilitated by online media.

Chris Barsanti
The Playlist
Lowen's technique represents a refreshingly new dynamic of an uninterrupted 90 minutes of close-ups to women's faces as they address the still patriarchal entertainment and social media industry.

April 26, 2018 | Rating: 7/10 | Full Review…

Argun Ulgen
PopMatters
A broadening out of the argument to examine what more can be done would have been welcome, but as a wake-up call about the impact of harassment and a celebration of what has already been achieved by this trio of fighters, Lowen's film is first-class.
