Plot
Generation Um... is an existential day-in-the-life portrait that immerses the viewer in the downtown mindsets of John Wall (Keanu Reeves), a lost soul who's been circling the New York City drain for too long, and the two party girls he spends his birthday with- Violet (Bojana Novakovic) and Mia (Adelaide Clemens)- as they look for light in the darker aspects of their "family of circumstance" and the paths their self-destructive lives have taken.

Reception
Generation Um... was panned by critics, with a Rotten Tomatoes approval rating of 0%, based on 15 reviews. [1] Justin Chang of Variety called it "a slapped-together sub-mumblecore exercise that at times suggests a feature-length expansion of 2010′s 'Sad Keanu' meme."[2] Stephen Holden of The New York Times wrote in his review, "Just because the characters waste their time doesn’t mean you should waste yours watching them circle the drain."[3]
