Top CriticAmateurish drivel, which is headed for Skinemax in a hurry.

Top CriticThe youthful cast is lively enough to make the enterprise almost work, presenting a time capsule of cyber- communication that should be more interesting 20 years from now.
09/11/03
Top CriticWeintrob's stylish visuals mimic Web technologies, which succeed in making his characters seem all the more removed from reality. Now if someone would find a way to equip theater seats with a 'delete' key, we could be rid of them completely.

Top CriticThere's something so familiar and commonplace about this story and its characters -- and maybe that has something to do with how much the Internet is a part of our everyday lives -- it's hard to get particularly thrilled.
07/11/03
Top CriticIt does a good job of portraying the day-to-day life of these online obsessives, but we realize eventually that they are more interesting because they are online.
07/11/03
Top CriticIf you like scenes of characters sticking hands down their pants, this is the film for you.
07/10/03
Top CriticOn_Line is the kind of thing I dread -- a movie about digital technology directed by an expert in interactive media and video games.
07/03/03
Top CriticWell-crafted late-night sleaze.
06/28/03
Top CriticTake away the computers and DSL lines and it's the 1950s of Jules Feiffer and Mike Nichols and Elaine May all over again, without the shrewdness and bite.
06/27/03
Top CriticA fine example of digital filmmaking.
06/27/03
Top CriticWhile On Line pretends to be about cyber sex ... it's really about sitcom situations and cyber-schmaltz.
06/27/03
Top CriticIt 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?
06/27/03
Top CriticWatching On_Line is a dispiriting experience that leaves you with a nagging 'Is that all there is?' feeling about sex in general.
06/27/03
Top CriticThis would-be erotic thriller suffers from the same problem that afflicts so many computer-oriented movies -- namely, that watching characters staring at a screen and typing hardly makes for a thrilling cinematic experience.
06/27/03
Top CriticIt's really just about a bunch of pathetic losers whiling away the hours with their hands jammed down their pants.
06/26/03
Top CriticThe movie epitomizes the problems inherent in attempting to depict new (and constantly morphing) media -- the inevitable obsolescence, the intangible particularities that resist or get lost in translation.
