Giampietro Balia wrote in the Tallinn Black Nights Film Festival catalogue:[11] " A stifling symphony of defeat for human kind as a whole, "Lines" is a necessary film in times in which numbers and ideological yarns dominate the political agenda, much to the disadvantage of the millions of individuals ensnared in a system that has proven to be frail and unreliable."

Also in the same festival's official page is written : "Director Vasilis Mazomenos offers a uncompromisingly bleak, ghastly and haunting view of modern Greece in "Lines".

[12] Liina Laugesaar wrote in Cineuropa:[13] "Lines does not focus on the political side of the crisis, but concentrates on the people who had to endure it.

Mazomenos puts faces back on the numbers and creates a harrowing testament to the challenging years that have left scars on many."

Élie Castiel wrote in Séquences:[14] "A movie shock, surprising, nocturnal, shouting his rage through seven tables, seven paintings of durations approximately equal, the whole forming a coherent whole despite the side Byzantine intentionally of each Party.
