Reviews
3.5 stars out of 5 -- "The players, who seem to be mostly improvising, are uniformly charming....Micahel Cera in particular cements his status as a contemporary Canadian Jimmy Stewart..." (Box Office)
3 stars out of 4 -- "[T]his is a very well-made film indeed. There's more than meets the eye." (Chicago Sun-Times)
3 stars out of 4 -- "PAPER HEART is refreshingly, almost defiantly inventive. A big part of its charm is the bespectacled and slightly addled Yi." (USA Today)
"PAPER HEART manages to work the meta mostly magically thanks to the sensibility brought by Yi, whose stand-up persona blends a childlike navieté with an almost perpetual state of shy embarrassment." (Los Angeles Times)
3 stars out of 5 -- "Enjoying this wondrous wisp of a something is easy....Charlyne Yi is an enchantress." (Rolling Stone)
"This diverting riff is as much a spoof of film-school self-seriousness as it is a sincere art project, enhanced by Yi's great, homemade puppets." -- Grade: B+ (Entertainment Weekly)
3 stars out of 5 -- "[A] playful quasi-documentary....Yi is a unique tour guide..." (Total Film)
