- 90Village VoiceJoshua LandVillage VoiceJoshua LandThe characters are a bit too OCD for LOL to work as the definitive commentary on technology and human relationships that it strives to be...But the movie is unusually attentive to the ironies of communications technology.
- 80Film ThreatFilm ThreatFor non-actors, everyone in this film really pulls their character off extremely well.
- 75New York PostV.A. MusettoNew York PostV.A. MusettoJoe Swanberg - who directed, edited, lensed, co-wrote and played one of the lovelorn characters - has done wonders with a nothing budget and a personable cast of nonprofessional actors. For viewers so disposed, there are several arty shots of nude women.
- 63TV Guide MagazineMaitland McDonaghTV Guide MagazineMaitland McDonaghScruffy, loosely structured and piercingly perceptive about the ways in which technology that supposedly brings people together actually keeps them apart.
- Authentic in texture if narrow in scope, LOL is a movie about the way we live -- or rather about the way white, urban, heterosexual circuit boys are failing to live.
