Critic Reviews

A fine example of digital filmmaking, and Weintrob and his co-writer, Andrew Osborne, manage to raise some serious issues regarding the Internet without taking themselves too seriously.Full Review

Kevin Thomas
Los Angeles Times

Weintrob's background in interactive media keeps the film's technology unusually current, but his predictable tongue-clucking over Internet relationships places him squarely in the Luddite camp.Full Review

Scott Tobias
The Onion A.V. Club

There's nothing unconventional or daring about On_Line, but considering how cheap it undoubtedly was to make, the acting, writing and direction all stand up pretty well; this is more intelligent and better structured than at least half the Hollywood movies I see.Full Review

Weintrob's stylish visuals mimic Web technologies, which succeed in making his characters seem all the more removed from reality. Now if someone would find a way to equip theater seats with a ''delete'' key, we could be rid of them completely.Full Review

Janice Page
Boston Globe

The film's redeeming feature is that it knows how sad these people are, and finds the correct solution to their problems: They meet in the flesh.Full Review
