B+
"It's not a cheery film to watch, but there's an unexpected beauty and distance to Zoo that makes it easier to comprehend, if not understand, how this culture considers itself."  OhmyNews.com  Brian Orndorf

D
"This nightmare-inducing film is as dark and lurid in tone as the mind of its maker."  ColeSmithey.com  Cole Smithey

C-
"Unusually classy, but it's also ponderous and boring -- which is something I didn't think a movie about a man who died from having sex with a horse could be."  EricDSnider.com  Eric D. Snider

2/4
"The legacy of Chris Marker weeps when the future of essay filmmaking looks like a feature-length commercial for Ambien."  Slant Magazine  Eric Henderson

"It seems almost perverse to willfully take a subject so bizarre and disturbing and esthetize it into something beautiful, but, love it or hate it, there's no denying the film's seductive power."  Pajiba  Jeremy C. Fox

"Despite the interesting questions they raise, it seems the filmmakers' plea for tolerance prevailed over true intellectual honesty and the serious study of a psychologically troubling behavior."  Pretentious Musings  Kevin Koehler

"The film's artistry makes it possible to consider the subject without sniggering or recoiling reflexively."  Film Journal International  Maitland McDonagh

"It is a relaxing film to watch, austere and comforting in such a way that Zoo's aural components will become unexpectedly, uncommonly troubling."  Not Coming to a Theater Near You  Rumsey Taylor
