Leave your thoughts about Zipper.
| New York PostKyle SmithThe movie comes across as a not particularly compelling episode of "House of Cards," and Wilson's Southern accent is equally unconvincing. |
| Consequence of SoundMichael RoffmanThere's nothing promiscuous about this sexually charged thriller. It's a total romp with hilarious, predictable tension and unruly visual metaphors that press the tongue way beyond the cheek. |
| Boston HeraldJames VerniereIf you love Scandal you'll love Zipper. Wilson and Headey head excellent cast. |
| The Film StageDan Mecca[It] plays like one of those sections in certain House of Cards episodes that feel cheap and easy and trashy. For a minute or two it's fun, before it quickly becomes laborious and grating. |
| Chicago Sun-TimesRichard RoeperZipper might be entertaining enough in a campy way for you to watch it on demand as long as you’ve got a really big bowl of popcorn and an even bigger glass of wine (or the non-alcoholic elixir of your choice) to get you through. Might. Be. |
| FILMINK (Australia)John NoonanNone to subtle in its approach, Zipper works only when it wants to. |
| The PlaylistOktay Ege KozakA monologue delivered by a senator played by Richard Dreyfuss is so clunky, that he might as well have broken the fourth wall in order to make sure the audience understood that his speech was supposed to represent the a major theme in the story. |
| Slant MagazineClayton DillardIt wants for a keener vision of corrupted power, but at least Mora Stephens navigates her main character's sudden slew of infidelities without banalizing them. |
| RogerEbert.comChristy LemireHeadey is coolly fierce and shares some powerful moments with both Wilson and Winstone as the reporter who threatens to expose this juicy sex scandal. But these scattered pieces don’t create a complete and convincing picture. |
| Village VoiceChris PackhamWilson is a charismatic and underused actor, perfect here as a guy with a talent for convincing others of his virtue. Headey, as Sam's wife, creates a surprisingly complex portrait of a woman shattered by her husband but hungry for higher social position. |
