Movie Reviews

Deseret News (Salt Lake City) - 8/10 by Chris HicksSome of the film comes off as rather superficial, but there are moments of truth that ring throughout.
EmanuelLevy.Com - 8/10 by Emanuel LevyThe movie takes us to the two places where bigotry are both nurtured and perpetuated, the home (here single parent) and the racially diverse school, where the youngsters prove more mature and open-minded than their parents.
Newsweek - 7/10 by David AnsenSometimes Zebrahead spells things out too neatly, and the talk at the end gets a little didactic. But Drazan's clear-eyed affection for his characters is contagious. His heartfelt, plain-spoken movie achieves real, unforced power.
Hartford Courant - 7/10 by Malcolm JohnsonIt is a remarkable first film, not only for what it says about friendship, love and antagonisms between young urban blacks and whites, but for how sharply it reveals a city making headlines even now with a new, true tragedy.
New York Times - 7/10 by Janet MaslinIn the absence of the usual teen-movie pyrotechnics, Zebrahead has a quiet, stagy style, more like a 1950's teleplay with a social conscience than a stormy present-day tale of racial strife.
Washington Post - 7/10 by Desson ThomsonIn Anthony Drazan's enjoyably offbeat Zebrahead, racial definition is the least important thing about anybody.
rec.arts.movies.reviews - 6/10 by Mark R. LeeperThe 'Okay, so what?' dissatisfied feeling does not serve this film well.
Movieline - 5/10 by Stephen FarberThe shooting seems like a lame attempt to inflate a small, well-observed story with a significance it hasn't earned.
TheFilmFile.com - 5/10 by Dustin PutmanThe film is often overwrought, even if it is well-meaning...The ending is especially unconvincing, as it seems to switch to the end credits while still in midstream.
User Review - 10/10 by Private UI LOVED THIS MOVIE IT SHOWS HOW RACIST EVERYONE IS EVEN WHEN THEY DONT THINK THEY ARE. WHERE DO YOU FIT?
