In a mid-sized metropolis (population 500,000) in a right-wing military led country, a pacifist organization, which supports the opposition party in the government, is planning on holding an anti-military, nuclear disarmament rally. The organization's charismatic leader - the deputy - is scheduled to arrive in the town from the capital the day of the rally. Beyond the problems arranging the rally due to the probable incitement of violence at such a rally, the organization learns of an unconfirmed report that there will be an attempt on the deputy's life. The rally does happen, after which a three-wheeled kamikaze runs over the deputy, who eventually passes away from his injuries. The official report is that the incident was a drunken accident. In reality, the deputy's death was murder orchestrated by the secret police, the general for who likens the pacifist organization to mildew killing off agricultural crops. A magistrate is assigned to the case. Although he does have political views, he is more interested in finding out the truth, and as such has to wade through the political rhetoric and politically motivated testimony he hears. Thrown into the mix is a photojournalist who too is looking for the truth, as it, he believes, will make a great front page story.
Leave your thoughts about Z.
| Chicago Sun-TimesRoger EbertIt is a film of our time. It is about how even moral victories are corrupted. It will make you weep and will make you angry. It will tear your guts out. |

| Film.comJonathan F. RichardsIt's hard to overstate the impact that this Oscar-winning procedural thriller had in 1969, on a world roiling in political activism, repression, and discord. |
| The SpectatorPenelope HoustonThere is a snapping-up of glib trifles which somewhat undercuts the gravity of Z's overt pretensions. |
| Kansas City KansanSteve CrumCosta Gavras political thriller still has bite |
| Village VoiceNicolas RapoldThe military junta that ensued in Greece gave the film a sense of urgency approved by Cannes and Oscar alike. |
| CinePassionFernando F. CroceThe cyclonic drive is all heat and outrage |
| Turner Classic Movies OnlineSean Axmaker... thrilling, compelling, run through with vivid supporting characters and narrative twists and turns that have the dramatic punch of fiction even when based on real events. |
| Chicago ReaderDave KehrThe usual excuse for films like this is that the crude melodrama helps communicate important political ideas and historical information, but Z doesn't communicate anything. |
| Slant MagazineBill WeberIt's still an eye-catching, fast-paced watch. |
