I love this little film. Great photography of Buenos Aires architecture. It's a sweet little rom-com, but I think it has some depth to it as well.

Medianeras is a quiet and sweet meditation on modern relationships in the era of social medias and its imperfect people.

Great movie. Very different from your run of the mill love stories. What makes the movie refreshing is the concept is so different.

Its playful take on urban isolation and how internet and technology draw people apart is spot-on, with a bittersweet sense of humor that made me smile at its logical deductions, but it is only a shame that, in its insistence on being cute, the plot can be pretty clichéd and obvious.

The Atlantic

With its themes of alienation in the Internet age and cutesy indie-ish trimmings, the film will feel familiar to anyone who's seen a bittersweet romantic comedy from Sundance.

Slant Magazine

When a film lays all the cards on the table simply to appease the characters' neuroses and insecurities, it becomes self-congratulatory.

Time Out

It's hard to truly hate any movie whose ending revolves around a clever Where's Waldo? gag. It's also near impossible to take it seriously for that exact same reason.

Rated: 2/5

Medianeras may test your tolerance for cuteness, but it's an enchanting modern day fairy-tale cut from the same cloth as 500 Days of Summer and Punch-Drunk Love.

Rated: 4/5

Of all of the recent films tipping their hat to Woody Allen's comedies of the 1970s-when he was, you know, funny-Sidewalls is by far the most sentimental and optimistic.
