Jon Frosch The Atlantic Mar 7, 2012
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. Go to Full Review
Glenn Heath Jr. Slant Magazine Oct 26, 2011
2/4
When a film lays all the cards on the table simply to appease the characters' neuroses and insecurities, it becomes self-congratulatory. Go to Full Review

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. Go to Full Review

3.5/5
[Sidewalls] is far from a masterpiece, but it is a well-designed and even better-constructed product. An study of urban decay (in its many facets) tinged with pleasant touches of romantic comedy. [Full review in Spanish] Go to Full Review

Harry R Mar 9, 2019 Medianeras is a quiet and sweet meditation on modern relationships in the era of social medias and its imperfect people. See more
Leia L Oct 11, 2018 Great movie. Very different from your run of the mill love stories. What makes the movie refreshing is the concept is so different. See more
George P Aug 22, 2008 Between 2.5 and 3. Although just a palid reflection of the previous short movie (Medianeras) which inspired it, it evokes some of the good feelings it gave to us. See more
