Mr. Stein Goes Online

"Despite sounding like an instructional video for aging boomers, Mr. Stein Goes Online is in fact a French farce — albeit one about an aging boomer."

"It will not surprise fans of Breaking Bad, or its spin-off series Better Call Saul, to be informed that actor Jonathan Banks – aka Mike, the hard-as-nails hitman and underworld problem solver – plays one creepy son of a bitch in Mudbound. In the Netflix-distributed feature film from African American director Dee Rees, his performance resonates in a bile-in-your-mouth kind of way, lending shuddersome gravitas to a dyed-in-the-wool racist circa rural Mississippi in the 1930s and 40s."

"Stephane Robelin's Mr Stein Goes Online is Cyrano de Bergerac for the age of the internet, a traditional feelgood movie given a modern gloss. It's also a little discomforting, in ways that Robelin may not have entirely thought through."

"A film that plays it safe, tying up loose ends and treating all its characters with forgiveness."

"Recommended for those who like their comedy broad and their more mature cinematic characters brazen."

"A burgeoning romance that feels emotionally hollow and is further let down by its clumsy ending."
