Martin is a neurotic web designer taking baby steps out of the isolation of his home and virtual reality. An artist fresh out of a relationship, Mariana is a mess, just like the apartment where she takes refuge. Martin and Mariana are perfect for each other -- they live on the same street but never meet. Can the movement of a modern city bring them together?

What are critics saying?
It's hard to truly hate any movie whose ending revolves around a clever Where's Waldo? gag. It's also near impossible to take it seriously for that exact same reason.
Slant Magazine by Glenn Heath Jr.
Animation, motion graphics, and slow motion all pop up at some point, further splintering Sidewalls into a pandering pastiche of better films.
The New York Times by Jeannette Catsoulis
Smart, wordy and sweetly sympathetic to lives lived online, Sidewalls coasts on Martín and Mariana's twin voice-overs, alternate musings on themselves and their city.
