Leave your thoughts about Zelig.
| GuardianPeter BradshawA masterpiece: a brilliant, even passionate historical pastiche, a superbly pregnant meditation on American society and individuality, and an eerie fantasy that will live in your dreams. |
| VarietyVariety StaffLampooning documentary tradition by structuring the entire film as a meticulously crafted bogus docu, Woody Allen tackles some serious stuff en route |
| Washington PostGary ArnoldA sublime comic parable about the quest for identity. |
| Associated PressLinda DeutschZelig is certain to rank among the most talked-about movies of this or any season. It is the most innovative film yet from the fertile imagination of Woody Allen, who proves that despite a few misses along with hits, he is never dull. |
| Time OutTom HuddlestonThe comedy tends to the smirk-inducing rather than the laugh-out-loud, and the second half wanders somewhat, but Zelig is a strong contender for Allen's most fascinating film. |
| Blogcritics.orgAlan DaleAllen is one of the most recognizable, and least protean, performers.... [P]erhaps ... someone else as Zelig ... could have got the idea across without the blandly explicit dialogue and brought more dimensions to the role, besides. |
| Reel Film ReviewsDavid Nusair...a fairly entertaining little movie...for a while, anyway. |
| New York TimesVincent CanbyZelig is small but it's one of those Allen comedies by which all his other films will be compared. |
| Denton Record-ChronicleBoo AllenBrilliant early film of the woodman shows his creative genius as a filmmaker. |
| User ReviewLouis MWacky, zany, creative, and utterly brilliant. Forest Gump stole the special effect gimmick years later. |
