Generation Um... is a 2013 independent drama film about "a New York City family of circumstance" written and directed by Mark L Mann, and starring Keanu Reeves, Adelaide Clemens and Bojana Novakovic. The film was released theatrically in New York City and Los Angeles on May 3, 2013, moving quickly to VOD and DVD.
Generation Um... is an existential day-in-the-life portrait that immerses the viewer in the downtown mindsets of John Wall (Keanu Reeves), a lost soul who's been circling the New York City drain for too long, and the two party girls he spends his birthday with- Violet (Bojana Novakovic) and Mia (Adelaide Clemens)- as they look for light in the darker aspects of their "family of circumstance" and the paths their self-destructive lives have taken.
Generation Um... was panned by critics, with a Rotten Tomatoes approval rating of 0%, based on 15 reviews. Justin Chang of Variety called it "a slapped-together sub-mumblecore exercise that at times suggests a feature-length expansion of 2010′s 'Sad Keanu' meme." Stephen Holden of The New York Times wrote in his review, "Just because the characters waste their time doesn’t mean you should waste yours watching them circle the drain."
