Movie Reviews
Reviews:
"LO AND BEHOLD approaches the internet with the same mixture of wonder and dread that the director previously applied to pitiless nature..." -- Grade: B- - 08/18/2016 A.V. Club
3 stars out of 4 -- "The promises and pitfalls of the digital age is the perfect subject for Herzog....Herzog makes a relaxed but alert guide throughout, using narration sparsely but memorably..." - 08/19/2016 RogerEbert.com
"LO AND BEHOLD: REVERIES OF THE CONNECTED WORLD is just the kind of percolating, wry probe we need into this fast-moving, digitally monopolizing age." - 08/18/2016 Los Angeles Times
3 stars out of 4 -- "Delivered in his stern, oft-imitated Teutonic tone, this inquiry is enough to cause the simultaneous giddy grinning and cerebral hemorrhages that Herzog's deep-thought interrogations often inspire -- not so much headscratchers as brain-exploders." - 08/19/2016 Rolling Stone
"The combination of Mr. Herzog’s doggedly curious sensibility and the mysteries of the digital universe seems both improbable and irresistible." - 08/18/2016 New York Times
"The greatest special effect in movies today is the sound of Werner Herzog’s voice. Those chilly Teutonic tones somehow manage to convey amazement, dread, avidity, detachment, superiority, and creepiness rolled into one." - 08/17/2016 Boston Globe
"There are some rich philosophical and theoretical insights offered here..." - 08/18/2016 Film Comment
"It’s another catastrophist study of a colossal force that is indifferent to humans’ puny and irrelevant moral judgement. His subject is the internet and our new world of digital interconnectivity, and he takes a sombre, quite censorious line." - 10/27/2016 The Guardian
