Full Review | Original Score: 1/5 | Nov 17, 2011

The segments featuring real people are genuinely affecting, but the realisation that everything else is probably being acted - that truth may be polluted by hoax - gives this otherwise lightweight film a sly, subversive edge.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Nov 6, 2009

Whimsical, solipsistic and self-indulgent, Paper Heart represents everything that is wrong with American independent cinema.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Nov 6, 2009

A world-beatingly annoying and pointless "docu-romcom".

| Original Score: 1/5 | Nov 6, 2009

The movie's winsome artificiality may drive you bananas.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Nov 6, 2009

Like Yi herself, the film may seem at times rather naïve in its outlook, but it's also honest and entertaining.

Full Review | Nov 6, 2009

Either you will find this cheaply made American independent docudrama charming or faintly irritating.

The film becomes more bewitching the more it loses direction. Yi stops questioning strangers and starts questioning herself. She also interrogates the ability, or inability, of cinema to follow love into its deepest mazes.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Nov 6, 2009

This indie squib wobbles briefly on a tightrope between sincerity and cuteness before plunging headlong to a death-by-whimsy.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Nov 6, 2009

This adventurous, postmodern exercise works best as an advert for the talents of Yi (who also provides music and animation). Sneaker-clad indie kids should really lap it up.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Nov 6, 2009

A heart-warmer to make a cynic grin.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Nov 6, 2009

Mildly amusing at best, the interviews are accompanied by twee animated segments featuring paper dolls, which should fill any right-thinking person with disgust.

| Original Score: 1.5/5 | Sep 24, 2009

[An] unbearably twee mockumentary about the meaning of love.

Watching Paper Heart isn't a painful process, but it isn't electrifying either.

| Original Score: 2.5/5 | Aug 14, 2009

This movie may be sickly sweet, but it's harmless; and as a handcrafted antidote to a toxic toy story like G.I.Joe, Paper Heart has healing properties.

Full Review | Original Score: 2.5/4 | Aug 13, 2009

Yi's overgrown geek girl shines, but tellingly, none of her best scenes have anything to do with holding hands with Cera,

| Original Score: C+ | Aug 9, 2009

While not earth-shattering or a film that's going to change the world, it is one that made me laugh, chuckle, swoon and cry, and when it was over I walked out of the theater feeling as light as a feather and as happy as a clam.

| Original Score: 3/4 | Aug 7, 2009

This breach with the audience does matter, for it is one thing to seduce your viewers and quite another to trick them. Love is all about trust, after all.

| Original Score: 2/4 | Aug 7, 2009
