There's a little something for everyone.
Austin Chronicle
Leah Churner
This year's Live Action lineup honors a group of directors who've had successful careers in advertising, acting, recording, and arts activism.
St. Paul Pioneer Press
Chris Hewitt
I could see any of the live-action shorts winning the top prize, which is partly a reflection of their quality and partly because none truly stands out.
Boston Phoenix
Betsy Sherman
Strong.
Boston Globe
Ty Burr
While there are few genuine knockouts, the 2013 crop is an improvement over last year.
Los Angeles Times
Betsy Sharkey
If you're primed for the sudden shifts in tone, style, story and look, the payoff is one provocative and evocative film after another.
Philadelphia Inquirer
Steven Rea
Although all technically accomplished, this year's batch of live-action shorts is more uneven.
San Francisco Chronicle
Peter Hartlaub
Typically eclectic and entertaining.
Washington Post
Michael O'Sullivan
In between these bookends are some fascinating and diverse offerings.
Milwaukee Journal Sentinel
Duane Dudek
Every film is a balance of style and storytelling, the ideas explored and the medium used to express them.
Times-Picayune
Mike Scott
Lives up to its status as an annual Oscar-season treat.
San Diego Union-Tribune
Alison Gang
A delightful set of films spanning genres, styles and the globe in just one outing.
PopMatters
Sarah Boslaugh
My pick among the live action shorts is Shawn Christensen's "Curfew" (19 minutes), mainly because it has all the conventional elements required of a narrative film, and yet is also really out there.
Reeling Reviews
Robin Clifford
Of the three different contests for best short film - documentary, live action and animation - the live action nominees are the strongest category.

Andrew O'Hehir
As unreliable as the Academy Awards may be at every possible level, it's a relief to encounter the 2013 Oscar-nominated shorts ...
St. Louis Post-Dispatch
Joe Williams
[They] will expand your worldview.
Chicago Sun-Times
Jeff Shannon
They may be short on humor, but they compassionately illuminate the state of our world, our frailties and foibles, and our capacity to survive the challenges that life throws at our feet.
