In the wake of a disaster that wipes out most of civilization, two men and a young woman find themselves in an emotionally charged love triangle as the last known survivors.
Leave your thoughts about Z for Zachariah.
| Consequence of SoundJustin GerberThe film never tries to answer the question "At what cost survival?", and as a result, Z for Zachariah succeeds by simply focusing on the question. |
| New York Daily NewsJoe NeumaierRobbie exudes confidence, mournfulness and delicate decency in a role that could easily have been a sci-fi cliche. What she does here is subtle and beguiling. |
| The Film StageDan MeccaThe film's reach does not exceed its grasp, remaining an entertaining microcosm of that universal extinct to keep going no matter what. |
| OregonianMarc MohanZ for Zachariah has things to say about the tugs-of-war between science and spirituality, thought and action, men and women. It's just not exactly sure what they are. |
| Arizona RepublicRandy CordovaDirector Craig Zobel (he made the creepily effective “Compliance”) lets the story unfold in wonderfully hushed fashion. |
| HitfixDrew McWeenyZ For Zachariah may not be a faithful adaptation of a well-liked book, but as a film, it is a lovely, powerful piece of work. |
| DCistPat PaduaA finally unsatisfying experiment, but the understated performances help overcome the sense that the last people on Earth are movie stars. |
| Rolling StonePeter TraversThe three actors work wonders. And Zobel, as he did in 2012's mindbending "Compliance," nails every nuance of intonation and posture. |
| Washington PostMichael O'SullivanThe acting is strong, with Robbie and Ejiofor turning in performances that feel powerfully authentic, even in moments of ethical confusion. Maybe especially in moments of ethical confusion. |
| Globe and MailJulia CooperLike its namesake prophet, Zobel’s film is about exile and return, but it’s also more simply about who we lust after. This simplicity is the film’s virtue rather than its sin, and a layered picture of right and wrong, faith and reason, emerges as the story unfolds. |
