- 100San Francisco ChronicleMick LaSalleSan Francisco ChronicleMick LaSalleIt’s hard to know what to make of this, but it’s quite enough that it happens at all. The film has some longueurs — it isn’t scintillating for every second of screen time. But 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.

- 58Entertainment WeeklyJoe McGovernEntertainment WeeklyJoe McGovernIt’s a decent critique of romance in the digital age—until you realize how boring it is to watch people break up on Facebook.
- 50Slant MagazineJames LattimerSlant MagazineJames LattimerIt ends up feeling like an unsatisfying cautionary tale on how much detachment is too much detachment.
