Globe and Mail

Nguyen opts for a mildly ironic tack - all this communication technology, and we're more disconnected than ever - but his earnestness gets the better of him.

Rated: 1.5/4

The sublime conclusion may even renew your faith in hope and love.

Hollywood Reporter

A surprisingly cliched and tone-deaf melodrama updated with some newish technology.

Richard Crouse

Tries to put a new spin on an old story but the introduction of a robot camera that resembles Short Circuit's/i> Johnny 5 bot crossed with some sort of metallic spider adds an unintended levity to scenes that should pack an emotional punch.

Rated: 2/5

Jorge Ignacio Castillo

Even though the premise has potential and the visuals rise to the occasion, Eye on Juliet leans heavily on narrative clichés and corniness.

Rated: 2.5/5

Nguyen has stirred together a great mix of ideas in this film, but without much focus.

Rated: 2/5

This is a remarkable little movie: the robots are fantastic, and the two main stars do a beautiful job. An interesting setting for a love story. Congrats to the writer/director - I haven't been touched by a movie this deeply in a long time.

Rated 5 out of 5 stars
