Netizens Reviews
Cultured Vultures
Andrea Thompson
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.
PopMatters
Argun Ulgen
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.
Film-Forward.com
Phil Guie
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.
The Pop Break
Marisa Carpico
Perhaps Lowen's greatest achievement, though, is the way she conveys aspects of patriarchy and misogyny that are much more complex.
Eye for Film
Amber Wilkinson
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.
Village Voice
Sam Weisberg
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.
ReelTalk Movie Reviews
Betty Jo Tucker
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.
The Playlist
Chris Barsanti
...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.
Solzy at the Movies
Danielle Solzman
With such an intense focus on cyber bullying and harassment, Netizens is such a timely documentary for the Me, Too era.
