We Live in Public Reviews
Seattle Times
John Hartl
We Live in Public is the kind of nonfiction film that seems to have been conceived to prove that truth is stranger than almost any fiction...
Boston Globe
Ty Burr
Midway through We Live in Public, one Quiet participant delivers the hard social lesson of cyberspace: "The more you get to know everyone, the more alone you become."
Washington Post
Michael O'Sullivan
Josh Harris focuses the lens on himself. You probably have never heard of him. And when the film is over, you may wish you still hadn't.
Chicago Sun-Times
Roger Ebert
This is a remarkable film about a strange and prophetic man. What does it tell us? Did living a virtual life destroy him?
Los Angeles Times
Betsy Sharkey
If anything, the film is a reflection of the Web zeitgeist, where observation comes easily but insight is rare. What saves the documentary from becoming a complete frustration is the sheer, stunning prescience of Harris.
San Francisco Chronicle
Mick LaSalle
Harris, who appears throughout in interview footage, is an interesting mix -- someone with a serious inability to connect with other people and yet at the same time someone with a consistent ability to see the future.
New York Times
Manohla Dargis
We Live in Public looks at one man's experiments with issues of privacy.
AV Club
Noel Murray
On that count, Timoner is correct: Harris is unduly obscure. But was what he accomplished really all that great?
New York Daily News
Joe Neumaier
A snapshot of several New York eras that coincide with the Internet's growing pains.
New York Post
V.A. Musetto
There must be a reason why, after all these year, Timoner chose to make a movie about Harris. If you figure it out, please let me know.
Austin Chronicle
Marc Savlov
Timoner, who also directed the now-classic rocker doc Dig!, makes a bold and trenchant argument, via Harris' pseudomorphically perverse life, that we are all now "slaves to little boxes," and it's true, Tweetpeeps, isn't it?
The New Yorker
Richard Brody
Disturbing yet fascinating...
Film Comment Magazine
Nicolas Rapold
Timoner's laudable impulse to chronicle recent history is wasted on insipid overstuffed montages and redundant testimonials, skirting real engagement with the culture in favor of cover-story hooks.
Variety
Rob Nelson
Like Timoner's DIG!, this astounding new docu burrows into the thin and darkly funny spaces between artistry and vanity, isolation and community, collaboration and exploitation, sanity and madness.
Village Voice
Nick Pinkerton
What is disturbing is not Harris's self-absorbed insistence that his own emotional hobbling somehow reflects an overarching social-technological pattern, but, instead, Timoner's uncritical cinematic collusion.
Critic's Notebook
Sarah Manvel
Ms. Timoner's well-crafted and intelligent film is a cautionary tale about the unthinking way we are living in public now. To use the cliché and call it thought-provoking is an understatement.
Movie Metropolis
Christopher Long
You might not welcome the Panopticon with such open arms, but you can't dispute the fact that Harris saw it all coming long before most people did.
Slant Magazine
Lauren Wissot
We Live in Public moves with the groove of the rock-star atmosphere that surrounded the dot-com kid moguls of the '90s.
Utne Reader
Rob Nelson
We Live in Public is the rare documentary film whose tapping of the American zeitgeist feels downright supernatural.
Reel Film Reviews
David Nusair
...an almost disastrously uneven effort that might've been passable as a short but simply doesn't work as a full-length feature.
