Critics' reviews

"Marques-Mercet and his actors establish an intimacy with the audience that's practically unique. Even if you love it only a little, not completely, you will probably remember '10,000 Km' for the rest of your life"

Mick LaSalle: San Francisco Chronicle
"It's a decent critique of romance in the digital age -- until you realize how boring it is to watch people break up on Facebook"

Joe McGovern: Entertainment Weekly
"The insights about tech-enabled disconnections are hardly earth-shattering, but the nuanced performances find the emotional truth in every pixelated gaze"

Sheri Linden: Los Angeles Times
"An Insightful, Moving Romance For the Technology Age. (...) With time, the filmmaker achieves a small miracle by stringing together the movie’s concise segments into an emotional whole."

Eric Kohn: Premiere
