Film Reviews:
  • "Me @ The Zoo functions as a cautionary warning about the danger of fame untethered to substantive achievement but it's also a surprisingly empathetic character study intent on understanding its oft-maligned and mocked protagonist."
    AV Club
  • "a surprisingly captivating...chronicle of the Internet celebrity Chris Crocker ("Leave Britney Alone") and his insight into and scrutiny received from the very world of fame and public attention he became famous for both defending and speaking out against. "
    Movies.com
  • "...chronicles several years in the endlessly self-recorded life of Chris Crocker, who won fame with his 2007 "Leave Britney alone!" YouTube rant. ...there is undeniable fascination to this sketch of ephemeral celebrity and real-life dysfunctionality, as well as the arresting, experimentally tinged feature that first-time helmers Chris Moukarbel and Valerie Veatch build around it.
