Critic Reviews

Kevin Thomas

A fine example of digital filmmaking, and Weintrob and his co-writer, Andrew Osborne, manage to raise some serious issues regarding the Internet without taking themselves too seriously. Read full review

Scott Tobias

Weintrob's background in interactive media keeps the film's technology unusually current, but his predictable tongue-clucking over Internet relationships places him squarely in the Luddite camp. Read full review

Stephen Holden

Acted with enough zest by its cast to give these not especially endearing people a poignant human dimension. Read full review

Elizabeth Weitzman

Weintrob's shallow analysis of virtual reality might have been more resonant in the mid-'90s, but he seems well aware that some things are timeless: By the end of his film, he has firmly shifted focus, concentrating far less on the cyber than on the sex. Read full review

Ernest Hardy

As the characters mix and mingle, pouring out their tales of woe online and fumbling real-life connections, Weintrob leaves no cliché unturned in getting to root causes of behavior. Read full review

Megan Lehmann

It's really just about a bunch of pathetic losers whiling away the hours with their hands jammed down their pants. Read full review

C.W. Nevius

Listless, self-absorbed slackers stare into computer monitors, groan about their lives and moan during cyber sex in On_Line. It makes you wonder, is there is a market for soft-porn movies for lonely geeks? Isn't that what computers are for in the first place? Read full review
