	Author	Review
United States	Eric Kohn IndieWire	"There are many stunning images flowing through 'Users,' the dazzling and ruminative documentary essay from Mexican-American filmmaker Natalia Almada"	POS
United States	Jonathan Christian The Playlist	"'Users' might imprint questions for you to ponder over, but no amount of post-viewing inquiries can enhance its regrettably superficial source point"	NEU
United States	Leslie Felperin The Hollywood Reporter	"It's hard not to admire the ambition of director Natalia Almada (...) Nevertheless, this freeform and free associative bricolage of images (...) doesn't coalesce around a coherent set of ideas.	NEU
United States	Nick Allen rogerebert.com	"The documentary has a great flow, and Almada’s curiosity often becomes our own (...) There is plenty of poetry within 'Users'"	POS
United States	Jessica Kiang Variety	"Stunning imagery but stunted philosophy mean this beautiful but meandering doc yields less than meets the eye."	NEU
United Kingdom	Wendy Ide Screendaily	"While its ideas might fail to fully coalesce, the film is unnervingly beautiful; an immersive and mesmeric aural and visual experience."	POS
United States	Wes Greene Slant	"Natalia Almada’s lyrical meditation on technology’s omnipresence (...) Rating: ★★★½ (out of 4)"	POS
United States	Christy Lemire rogerebert.com	"A mesmerizing amalgamation of sight and sound (...) Rating: ★★½ (out of 4)"	POS
