Seattle Post-Intelligencer Sean Axmaker
Hartley's soft spot for offbeat romances is trumped by irony and sloganeering dialogue.
Read Full Review >Christian Science Monitor David Sterritt
There's heavy influence from the "Brave New World" brand of dystopian fantasy, but engaging performances and a stylized visual approach lend it originality.
Read Full Review >New York Post V.A. Musetto
Not one of Hartley's most successful efforts, but it's witty, daring, different and a welcome alternative to Hollywood pap.
Read Full Review >The Onion (A.V. Club) Scott Tobias
There's ample opportunity here for a sharp consumerist satire, like a dryer cousin to the candy-colored pop-culture send-up “Josie And The Pussycats,” but Hartley misses his own joke.
Read Full Review >Variety Robert Koehler
Unconvincingly attempts to update the futurist dystopian traditions of Orwell, Huxley and William Gibson.
Read Full Review >Portland Oregonian M. E. Russell
As satire, it doesn't add up -- but it's an admirable, if dull, experiment.
Read Full Review >TV Guide Maitland McDonagh
Hartley's score is lovely and he makes excellent use of digital video, but the film's paucity of provocative ideas is its undoing.
Read Full Review >New York Daily News Elizabeth Weitzman
Hartley's satire of consumer-driven sexuality is undermined by the straight-faced decision to cast affectless model Tatiana Abracos as the heroine.
Read Full Review >The New York Times Stephen Holden
Evokes a mood of tenderness. Beyond that, it is a weightless, sentimental and intellectually lazy effort from an independent filmmaker whose movies seem increasingly insubstantial.
Read Full Review >Film Threat Peter Hanson
A profoundly unnecessary movie, The Girl From Monday is an embarrassment.

Jacob G. gave it an8:
This thoughtful film takes a lot of well-engineered dialog and brings incranational ideas - what it means to be human and what it means to be an individual in a world where personal investment into insensitive corporate structures is the only way to survive. I disagree with the assessment that this is another 1984 - rather, it suggests that despite our corporate environment, individuals call the shots for themselves and their lives depend on their choices. For a movie whose description sounds like a b-rate porn film, the issues are dealt with in a way that is academic, if not tasteful.
Ace W. gave it a3:
To say this film relied to heavily upon narration to drive the plot would be an understatement of monumental proportions. I get it, advertising/media is manipulating our society and we, as consumers seem to be all too happy to let it happen. As commentary it works slightly yet as a satire, which I can only imagine it was intended to be, it falls very flat. The problem is the film is not very subtle, so Hartley almost becomes as bad as those he wishes to indict. I kept getting the feeling of Hartley saying “Hey don’t listen to what ads tell you, instead listen to me.” I didn’t care one bit what happened to any of the characters, and had so little emotional involvement with them that I nearly laughed when one of them was shot. That said, some of the camera work was interesting and the score was well done. All in all, I liked it better the first time I read it when it was called 1984.
