• Visually interesting but somewhat churlish

  [Highly rated reviewer]

  A visually interesting film with excellent direction and style that seems somewhat tarnished by labouring Wilson's opinion that the MP3 generation is either incapable or unwilling to appreciate music in it's full. Wilson is obviously intelligent enough to realise the more complicated discourse that is a missed opportunity here, leaving instead a surreal surface scratching autobiography that seems somewhat churlish in the repeated sequences of destruction of portable music devices.
  
  On the positive side Wilson's art and music speaks for itself as a triumph of composition; in my opinion this would have been a better accompaniment as either a deeper biography or abstract visual documentary of Wilson without the repeated simplistic afronts upon the digital generation.
