The segments featuring real people are genuinely affecting, but the realisation that everything else is probably being acted - that truth may be polluted by hoax - gives this otherwise lightweight film a sly, subversive edge.
Paper Heart
A story about love that's taking on a life on its own.

Comedy, Drama, Romance

Nicholas Jasenovec
Overview
Paper Heart follows Nick and Charlyne on a cross-country journey to document what exactly "love" is. Interviewing ministers, happily married couples, chemists, romance novelists, divorce lawyers, a group of children and more, the determined young girl attempts to find definition and perhaps even experience the mysterious emotion.
Director and cast
Critics on Rotten Tomatoes
Top critics, in their words
[An] unbearably twee mockumentary about the meaning of love.
Paper Heart gets by on easygoing charm, rather like Yi herself, whose low-fi comedy is built upon us rooting for her, perhaps hoping that surely there's more magnetism to her than this.
Cute? If you say so. Funny? If I had a nickel for every time I laughed, I'd have a dime.
This movie may be sickly sweet, but it's harmless; and as a handcrafted antidote to a toxic toy story like G.I.Joe, Paper Heart has healing properties.
