Critic Reviews for Mr. Stein Goes Online

All Critics (9) | Top Critics (1) | Fresh (4) | Rotten (5)

Stephane Robelin's Mr Stein Goes Online is Cyrano de Bergerac for the age of the internet, a traditional feelgood movie given a modern gloss. It's also a little discomforting, in ways that Robelin may not have entirely thought through.

Jake Wilson
The Age (Australia)
Recommended for those who like their comedy broad and their more mature cinematic characters brazen.

The film plays out like a weird riff on Cyrano De Bergerac, before turning into something much more morally queasy.

The result is pleasant to watch, even if it leaves behind no powerful trace on the memory.

Carlos Marañón
Cinemanía (Spain)
Although the film guarantees intermittent laughter, its conflict gives rise to clichs that are widely seen around lies, secrets, entanglements and broken hearts. [Full review in Spanish]

Mabel Salinas
Cine Premiere
The film strives to truffle out of entanglement without too much grace or rhythm a series of powerful situations that, tied to the weight of insight, would have aspired to impact. [Full review in Spanish]
