 "Left me with the visceral sensation of longing, lasting traces of Charlotte's web of desire and desperation."
-- Oliver Wang, POPMATTERS
 "[Director] Byler may yet have a great movie in him, but Charlotte Sometimes is only half of one."
-- Luke Y. Thompson, NEW TIMES
"If you have any interest in seeing a challenging movie before the next few months of summer silliness, you shouldn’t wait to see Charlotte Sometimes."
-- Peter Sobczynski, CRITIC DOCTOR
"Charlotte Sometimes is a brilliant movie. It is about irrational, unexplainable life and it seems so real because it does not attempt to filter out the complexity."
-- Steven Snyder, ZERTINET MOVIES
"Terminally bland, painfully slow and needlessly confusing ... The movie, shot on digital videotape rather than film, is frequently indecipherable."
-- Steve Rhodes, STEVE RHODES' INTERNET REVIEWS
"It aimlessly and unsuccessfully attempts to fuse at least three dull plots into one good one."
-- Charles Martin, BOXOFFICE MAGAZINE
"Drawing on an irresistible, languid romanticism, Byler reveals the ways in which a sultry evening or a beer-fueled afternoon in the sun can inspire even the most retiring heart to venture forth."
-- Hazel-Dawn Dumpert, L.A. WEEKLY
"Charlotte Sometimes is a difficult movie to describe. It's writer and director, Eric Byler, calls it an 'anti-romance.' Some refer to it as a 'realistic love story.' Whatever it is, it's terrific."
-- Joe Atkinson, EVANSVILLE COURIER

"Charlotte Sometimes is a gem. It's always enthralling."
-- Dennis Schwartz, OZUS' WORLD MOVIE REVIEWS
"May take its sweet time to get wherever it's going, but if you have the patience for it, you won’t feel like it's wasted yours."
-- Brian Mckay, EFILMCRITIC.COM
"It’s all arty and jazzy and people sit and stare and turn away from one another instead of talking and it’s all about the silences and if you’re into that, have at it."
-- MaryAnn Johanson, FLICK FILOSOPHER
"The cast is top-notch and I predict there will be plenty of female audience members drooling over Michael Idemoto as Michael."
-- Eric Campos, FILM THREAT
"[The] scenes are full of pauses, lingering moments. Every line spoken echoes in the memory, and the acting is good enough to sell it."
-- Jeffrey M. Anderson, SAN FRANCISCO EXAMINER

"A work of the utmost subtlety and perception, it marks the outstanding feature debut of writer-director Eric Byler, who understands the power of the implicit and the virtues of simplicity and economy."
-- Kevin Thomas, LOS ANGELES TIMES
"Byler is too savvy a filmmaker to let this morph into a typical romantic triangle. Instead, he focuses on the anguish that can develop when one mulls leaving the familiar to traverse uncharted ground."
-- John Petrakis, CHICAGO TRIBUNE
"A sexy, surprising romance... Idemoto and Kim make a gorgeous pair... their scenes brim with sexual possibility and emotional danger."
-- Carla Meyer, SAN FRANCISCO CHRONICLE
"Eric Byler's nuanced pic avoids easy sentiments and explanations ..."
-- Robert Koehler, VARIETY
"Byler reveals his characters in a way that intrigues and even fascinates us, and he never reduces the situation to simple melodrama."
-- Roger Ebert, CHICAGO SUN-TIMES
