Leave your thoughts about Zenith.
| Los Angeles TimesKevin ThomasTo say the least, "Zenith" is challenging and elusive; it evokes a bleak view of the human condition and a sense that pervasive paranoia might well be justified. |
| Christian Science MonitorAndy KleinZenith doesn't always work, but at least it has interesting ambitions, including some sort of parallel existence on interactive websites. |
| Boston GlobeLoren KingFor traditionalists who prefer their movies unfettered and non-interactive, "Zenith'' happens to be pretty good, though it's longer on style and atmosphere than clarity of storytelling. |
| AV ClubNoel MurrayWhile Zenith is fascinating to contemplate as a concept, it doesn't fully work as a piece of entertainment-at least not in 90-minute-movie form. |
| Slant MagazineGlenn Heath Jr.The film's messy pacing ultimately undermines the frequently enthralling themes at play, and the indescribably odd ending only sends the viewer off more confused. |
| Boxoffice MagazineMatthew NestelZenith is a genre-bending experiment that needs an extended beta phase before going operational. |
| Film Journal InternationalMaitland McDonaghNot everyone likes having to think while watching a movie, but viewers who do will find plenty to ponder in this twisty maze of facts that sound like fiction just a hair stranger than the truth |
| User ReviewAni COne of the best films I've seen in awhile! |
| User ReviewGreg Wwell crafted and entertaining low-fi sci-fi tale |
| User ReviewDavid UIf you're not completely brainwashed yet, can still think with your own mind, don't think Kafka is a perfume brand and Breathless a film with Richard Gere, you should see this movie. |
