Ain't it Cool News gave us a glowing review:
"'love and tambourines': i wanted to see 'an education,' but didn't get in, so i had some time to waste and checked out this local austin film and i was happy i did. this was my favorite film of the festival.
though i have not seen 'paper heart' the premise of this film seems to be similar to 'heart'; a pseudo-documentary-ish female driven exploration about love... but here they also cover music and tambourines. this is all about genre mixing. two friends who are alone on valentines day decide to spend the day together in a platonic, non-romantic way. there are interviews edited with the narrative and then beautiful experimental, art clips that move the film along as well, then there's some concert shots that are beautifully photographed -- which make it part music video as well. speaking of music, similar to 'harmony and me' the main character, friday night lights' stephanie hunt, is a very talented musician who contributes a lot of beautiful music to this film. there is a strong passion for godard here, both through direct references and a french film style also incorporated to the film, adding to its genre blending uniqueness. and if you're really searching for something unique this film has the best portrayal of arnold schwarzenegger by an indian actor-- yeah an indian dude doing an 'ahnold' impression. it sounds so odd, so weird and when you see it on screen it is, but in this film it works!
jeremy cohen, the director of this pic deserves all the good things that come his way. just three years out of film school at ut, the guy was able to capture some of the most beautiful, lush shots i saw out of any film in the festival. there wasn't a moment of this film that was weak. it was pure joy to watch the film and the biggest surprise i had at the fest. hopefully distributors, even if it's just independent distributors (i'm predicting foreign fare would be great-- especially in france) see the potential in the film and the people involved, because it is a bliss that should be shared with all."
