Movie Reviews

France24 - 10/10 by Jon FroschThis somewhat sensationalist yet consistently gripping documentary traces the history of nuclear proliferation and spells out, in chilling terms, the danger facing everyone ( ... )
Arkansas Democrat-Gazette - 9/10 by Philip Martin...a scary, programmatic, depressingly convincing documentary that feels like an alarmistic relic of the Cold War.
Chicago Tribune - 9/10 by Michael PhillipsLike Charles Ferguson's excellent Iraq documentary "No End in Sight," "Countdown to Zero" has an agenda but has the cogent, reasoned rhetoric to support it.
New York Times - 8/10 by Jeannette CatsoulisPaying to see Countdown to Zero is like tipping a fortuneteller to predict the manner of your death.
Cleveland Plain Dealer - 8/10 by Clint O'ConnorA smart, sharply made nuke-nightmare documentary that is suitably sobering and completely horrifying.
Time Out - 8/10 by Joshua RothkopfWalker integrates stranger-on-the-street testimony to further her general vibe of ignorance, thus pinpointing the true target of an agitated doc--our own blithe apathy.
Wisconsin State Journal - 8/10 by Rob ThomasWalker ends up trying to end "Countdown to Zero" on an upbeat note. It rings a little hollow; she's scared us so thoroughly throughout the rest of the film that it's a little hard to feel optimistic.
Denver Post - 8/10 by Lisa KennedyThe news is ugly. The film is often gorgeous and wields a cumulative power to humanize potential devastation.
Los Angeles Times - 8/10 by Kenneth TuranInspired in part by the success of "An Inconvenient Truth," the makers of Countdown to Zero are determined to mobilize public opinion to zero out the world's nuclear arsenal. We all should be rooting for their success, because failure would leave no one left to mourn our mistakes.
Minneapolis Star Tribune - 8/10 by Colin CovertThis handsomely produced film argues that nukes can be eliminated through enforceable international agreements, just as chemical and biological weapons have been banned.
