A teenage girl from Lima meets a boy online, and he's obsessed with conspiracies, porn and prophecies. When they meet in real life, supernatural events begin to unfold around them.

Katie Walsh

Los Angeles Times

In Videophilia, writer-director Juan Daniel Fernandez has created an experimental aesthetic; a pixelated, paranoid pastiche of World Wide Web ephemera, television and other digital detritus.

Ben Kenigsberg

New York Times

It is hard to escape the sense that Mr. Molero has employed his relentless formal invention in service of some fairly banal moralizing about the dangers of strangers and the internet - a warning that seems late for the here and now.

Slant Magazine

What the film embodies, unfortunately, is the listlessness of its slacker characters.

Rated: 1/4

Bay Area Reporter

At an hour and 50 minutes, Videofilia winds up looking like a self-indulgent exercise in editing across visual platforms that ultimately merge in a sloppy psychedelic soup of porn-fueled machismo undercutting any claim to originality.

CineVue

A forceful, if imperfect, look at the shifting sands of digitally-mediated reality and the people balancing on its surface.

Rated: 3/5

SF Weekly

Videofilia doesn't add up to much, and is just begging to be remixed down into a tight video-art collage -- which may even be the point.
