The New York Times

Jul 11, 2013

The title of Terms and Conditions May Apply is unlikely to excite, but the content of this quietly blistering documentary should rile even the most passive viewer.

By Jeannette Catsoulis FULL REVIEW

Jul 8, 2013

Deftly balancing twin goals of informing and entertaining, the pic matter-of-factly details the various ways that marketers, multinational corporations, police departments and government-run intelligence-gathering organizations obtain and exploit info.

By Joe Leydon FULL REVIEW

Jul 12, 2013

A quietly appalled we-really-oughta-do something documentary in the mode of "Food, Inc." or "An Inconvenient Truth."

The Hollywood Reporter

Jul 8, 2013

Though it mostly summarizes available arguments instead of uncovering new facts, it's an accessible primer.

By John DeFore FULL REVIEW

Jul 10, 2013

Terms And Conditions may not be a particularly well-made documentary, but it provides a much-needed wake-up call.

Jul 10, 2013

If The Social Network didn't make you want to quit Facebook in 2010, the brave new world outlined here should, despite the fact that your data won't actually be erased.

Jul 11, 2013
