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."  DustinPutman.com  Dustin Putman

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

C
"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."  Monsters and Critics  Ron Wilkinson
