Ibad Shah indieWire "Z for Zachariah is a solid relationship drama disguised as post-apocalyptic tale. Rated: B Sep 13, 2017 Full Review Noel Murray Nashville Scene The deviations from O'Brien's plot don't always work, but the characters do come across as real people, in a believably fallen world, following a carefully planned-out path and trying to avoid a fatal misstep. Aug 4, 2016 Full Review Jason Bailey Flavorwire 'Z for Zachariah' is a film of ideas, but those ideas never overpower the people it's about. May 27, 2016 Full Review Vadim Rizov Filmmaker Magazine Heather McIntosh’s score reinforces every obvious emotion in hacky fashion, and there’s a bad sex scene to boot. Jan 23, 2023 Full Review Keith Garlington Keith & the Movies Zobel engages his audience not through the normal and expected genre machinations, but by peeling back revealing layers of humanity. Rated: 4/5 Aug 20, 2022 Full Review Brian Eggert Deep Focus Review A somewhat aloof allegory that, though visually appealing and serving a trio of fine, understated performances, never fully immerses us in the drama. Rated: 2.5/4 May 27, 2022 Full Review Read all reviews

Allanilton D O pior filme da história Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 03/11/24 Full Review Ross M This was an interesting excursion pushed along by solid performances from its characters. It's not an action film by any stretch of the imagination but does a pretty good job within the confines of its set up. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 03/06/24 Full Review Jelisije J A very predictable movie that I wished stuck to the original source material. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 10/01/23 Full Review Gareth v A clever, thought provoking movie about the end of humanity that doesn't show the horrors of what has happened, but focuses on the now and the moral ambiguities in surviving. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 06/18/23 Full Review georgan g Superb acting and beautiful scenery in a slow but gripping tale about the end of the world. Who loves who? Who is going to kill who? Who are these characters, really? This movie may hang with you for days! Rated 4 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Audience Member Not a conventional movie and it doesn't spell it all out for you. I liked it a lot, thought I want to be sure.... Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/15/23 Full Review Read all reviews
