Neil Genzlinger New York Times "Emoticon ;)" is stuffed with complexities. So why does it feel as facile as that irksome title? May 29, 2014 Full Review Inkoo Kang Los Angeles Times In wildly disparate plot lines, Guerrero and Chandler easily command sympathy, but De Paolis doesn't let the sibling characters roam very far. May 29, 2014 Full Review Frank Scheck The Hollywood Reporter Livia De Paolis's too cutely titled debut feature wears its themes a little too baldly on its sleeve, but this modest effort about a non-nuclear family dealing with various interpersonal crises boasts some genuinely effective, understated moments. May 28, 2014 Full Review Kelly Maxwell Bust Magazine Audiences go in expecting something cute and fun, but instead, [Emoticon ;)] is introspective and almost self-deprecating. Aug 11, 2017 Full Review Amanda Nojadera Common Sense Media Human connections trump technology in social media drama. Rated: 3/5 May 30, 2014 Full Review Brent Simon Shockya.com Professionally mounted and attractively lensed, this indie production is a fresh, off-the-beaten-path conceit that gets mileage from its willingness to examine notions of non-nuclear family and changing identity. Rated: C+ Jun 12, 2013 Full Review Read all reviews
