High Tech, Low Life Ratings & Reviews
Los Angeles Times
Robert Lloyd
Maing's own camera captures the busy, rich and revealing life around them, with interested openness and visual intelligence.
Boston Globe
Mark Feeney
"High Tech, Low Life" (not a good title) has a nice easy rhythm. It feels neither hurried nor emphatic.
Variety
Ronnie Scheib
High Tech, Low Life ostensibly examines censorship of the Internet and news media in China. But the pic is driven less by its subject matter than by its two very different and utterly fascinating bloggers.
The Hollywood Reporter
John DeFore
We leave the film with no idea how many people are doing this in China, where these two stand within the online community, and whether state media outlets have changed at all in response to them.
Village Voice
Andrew Schenker
Whatever their orientation, both men are intrepid in pursuing the truth, the consequences of which are made clear in a series of terrifying late-film crackdowns.
New York Times
Jeannette Catsoulis
A narrow, albeit intriguing window into a technological revolt that deserves a more far-reaching film than this one.
Slant Magazine
Kalvin Henely
As far as its subject matter goes, the doc only scratches the surfaces, only reaffirming the simple idea that Internet censorship in China is prevalent and unfair.
