      Audience Member Like the relationship at the core of this story, this movie drags on and on past the point it should. Neither of the characters are likeable and they feel so extremely flat emotionally. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 01/28/23 Full Review Audience Member Not good. Everyone is shitty and boring Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 01/16/23 Full Review Serge L Not too bad and the idea is acceptable. I think someone smart could have known easily if she was nearby just by seeing the sunlight. That is my problem with it, both are not smart characters. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 03/21/21 Full Review Audience Member Little film full of realism, about... well the cut doesn't allow us to know until much later in the film. The film sucker us into wondering who is crazy. Which seems to be the guy at first. It does make a few points relevant to this millenium. The guy ends up being the caring brilliant one conned by yet another dumb bitch that can't feel nor find out a passion... other than being demeaning to guys. This is why I think lesbianism should be encouraged. Get these out of our legs. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/20/23 Full Review Audience Member Good premise, really unfortunate plotting. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 02/19/23 Full Review Audience Member Creepy movie about a loser dude who stalks his virtual girlfriend.

      John DeFore Hollywood Reporter A thoughtful, emotionally tricky debut benefitting from two strong lead performances. Oct 28, 2014 Full Review Susan Wloszczyna RogerEbert.com Both Gallagher and Sheil are fully capable of keeping us invested in their characters, no matter how flawed they might be. Rated: 3/4 Oct 24, 2014 Full Review Tomas Hachard NPR A movie that's neither ostentatious nor superficial. Oct 24, 2014 Full Review Q.V. Hough Vague Visages Perhaps most impressive of all is the stunning cinematography of Rob Leitzell. Jun 23, 2023 Full Review Nicholas Bell IONCINEMA.com More of an exercise in the complications of modern love than an astute portrait of two people trying to come together, The Heart Machine exudes the robotic connotations of its title. Rated: 3/5 Jul 9, 2019 Full Review Stephen Saito Moveable Fest The Heart Machine" manages to accommodate some very big ideas about the false sense of intimacy created by technology as it tells a very personal story.
