Plays like a metaphysical Moscow version of "Mad Men" - on acid.

Viktor Ginzburg keeps this lively by trying out a new effect (commercial parodies, CGI, rapid montage) in nearly every scene. Not all of them work, but the overall energy is hard to resist.
Ben Sachs, Chicago Reader
Rotten
Sort of a cross between "Mad Men" and an acid trip.
Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times
Fresh
The movie contains enough fresh insanity and inventive visuals to make it an amusing cyberpunk extravaganza for most of its protracted running time.
Sheri Linden, Los Angeles Times

"Generation P" delivers a brave, head-spinning commentary on the potency of advertising and the seduction of the soul.
Jeannette Catsoulis, New York Times
