"At once a disturbing vision of escape, a cautious portrait of liberation, and an exploration of authenticity and artificiality."
"Ingenious... suggests the porous boundaries between the fictive and the concrete, the power of role-playing in defining real identities, and the risky self-discoveries that may result."

"Not so much a documentary of an Internet phenomenon as a deconstruction of 21st-century culture... Sometimes escaping the world means facing the truth."
