1.5/4
"The questioning yields but modest insights, more along the line of "love is a hard thing to find--when you have it, keep it" than any heretofore undiscovered secret formulas."
Slant Magazine
Andrew Schenker
4/10
"Paper Heart is increasingly focused on the tension between Cera and Yi's supposedly real romance and the camera's imposition of structure and self-consciousness."
PopMatters
Cynthia Fuchs
3.5/5
"'Paper Heart' is a strange hybrid of documentary and fiction filmmaking that might have been more enjoyable had it stuck with strictly with the facts."
eFilmCritic.com
Dan Lybarger
3/4
"One of the sweetest cinematic confections of the year. Charlyne Yi is a new star in the making."

"I don't think they ever get around to answering the question about true love, but it's fun to watch the process."

"Part documentary, part fictional romcom, and all twee."
One Guy's Opinion
Frank Swietek
"Ask a stupid question and you get a stupid movie."
The L Magazine
Henry Stewart
2/4
"It's easy to see how this quirky, offbeat approach could seem refreshing within the rarefied, hermetic atmosphere of a festival. Elsewhere, however, it comes across as amateurish and considerably less charming."
ReelViews
James Berardinelli
4/5
"Paper Heart is a kooky, gentle movie that's all about love, and well worth a look with an open heart."
Cinerina
Karina Montgomery
B
"...an upbeat crowd pleaser that should break Yi out of the L.A. underground comedy circuit."
Reeling Reviews
Laura Clifford
4/5
"Worms its way under our skin from the start, keeping us laughing as it explores love and relationships from a strikingly original angle"
Shadows on the Wall
Rich Cline
B-
"...the first time feature filmmakers, quite professionally, crossed the continent and collected a myriad of interviews and anecdotes about love."
Reeling Reviews
Robin Clifford
7/10
"Charlyne Yi's road trip in search of love is an easygoing investigation into the ultimate riddle without an answer."
