Leave your thoughts about The Zone.
| New York Magazine/VultureBilge EbiriSome may sniff at director Rodrigo Plá's deliberately exaggerated style, but it makes no pretensions to authenticity. Indeed, it's just audacious enough to work -- like Crash reimagined by Rod Serling. |
| GuardianPeter BradshawA smart movie, dramatically lean and mean, exciting and often shocking. |
| Total FilmChris HicksDirector Rodrigo Plá pulls off a biting critique of middle-classes living in smug seclusion, but doesn't compromise on tension as the suburbanites' morals spiral out of control. |
| London Evening StandardDerek MalcolmThis is a well-made realist study of what happens when society is divided between rich and poor. But it is also so schematic that some of its power drains away. |
| Financial TimesNigel AndrewsA Mexican thriller-with- a-message, brings the message and forgets the thrills. |

| Uruguay TotalEnrique BuchichioUn excelente thriller dramático, narrado con precisión y buen elenco, que es sobre todo una inquietante reflexión sobre uno de los temas más candentes y polémicos de nuestro tiempo. |
