"Low budget but good indie character studies for the three films included in this release. This is definitely for underground fans."
"Had a couple of these films as digital copies, so it's nice to have this great Blu-ray set as an upgrade. The slipcover is sharp and the presentation is great. The best part of VS is not only their own great releases but their dedication to partnering with indie distributors and releasing top of the line sets of a wide range of films."
"Nice set of three from indie director Nathan Silver."
"Totally Wired brings together three early works by Nathan Silver, showcasing a filmmaking style that is loose, abrasive, and deeply rooted in character-driven chaos. These films feel almost improvised at times, capturing moments of emotional volatility and social discomfort with unfiltered intensity. Silver’s approach is intentionally rough around the edges—handheld camerawork, overlapping dialogue, and erratic pacing all contribute to a sense of immediacy. The characters are often messy, flawed, and difficult, which can make the viewing experience both compelling and exhausting. This collection isn’t about polished storytelling; it’s about capturing raw human behavior in all its awkwardness and unpredictability. For viewers attuned to this kind of cinéma vérité-inspired indie filmmaking, Totally Wired offers a fascinating, if uneven, glimpse into a singular creative voice."
"Great indie collection with nice slipcover. Transfers are great but extras are minimal."
"Three films by Nathan silver. Three solid independent movies. Solid 3/5"
"Pretty boring stuff tbf, good value for money if nothing else …."
"Three indie films in one set, plus a good slipcover. A solid pick for indie film fans."
"Nate Silver ranks high among the most original American filmmakers that next to nobody has ever heard of. (Which is a shame, and hopefully will change. ) This collection is a great selection of his work. Hopefully more physical media releases of his films await."
"A true original"
