Why I'm not on Facebook (2014)

A Top Notch Doc

With Facebook invading so many of our lives, it was high time that a film came around that really analyzed the trend. I'm honestly surprised this movie wasn't made sooner! A great, funny documentary from a promising new filmmaker.

The movie follows its director, Brant, as he decides whether he should let his young son join the popular social network, Facebook. Along the way he interviews all sorts of interesting people and celebrities, who each have an new perspective on Facebook. Brant never judges his subjects, even the more "out-there" characters, which really helps. Brant also focuses on himself, as he asks himself if the problem isn't with Facebook, it's with him. The end of the movie involves some major soul searching, and it really adds an emotional climax to the whole thing. Definitely watch this film if you want to eat Facebook with your whole family.
