Reviews for Zero Day
Unsettling and unforgettable.
01/23/04
probably the most realistic look at how far teen angst can really go, along with the reasons why it exists in the first place
05/01/05
Will chill you to your core.
10/24/03
A scrapbook of right-now tensions and suspense.
05/28/04
What gives the movie its power is that even the most innocuous scenes in the boys' lives are shadowed by dread.
09/03/03
Top CriticLove it or hate it, Zero Day will stay with you for a very long time.
08/19/03
Gripping, compelling work. It feels pulled from real life, and real life is the most frightening thing there is.
01/14/04
It generates strong visceral impact while conveying the essentially inexplicable nature of such tragedies.

It generates strong visceral impact while conveying the essentially inexplicable nature of such tragedies.

Mr. Coccio's conclusions -- or lack thereof -- may seem a little pat at times, but as a pseudo-case study of adolescent ego and aimless nihilism channeled into a fit of violence, it's like a bucket of ice water in the face.
01/22/04
Top CriticZero Day may not explain the reason such crimes are committed but it successfully defines evil as willful cruelty compounded by enormous self-absorption.
09/02/03
Top CriticSmall, often-riveting movie.
01/09/04
un effort s'attaquant sans gęne aux véritables raisons pouvant motiver des actes aussi insensés qui mérite d'ętre écouté attentivement.
04/20/07
[The ending is] a powerhouse sequence that easily relies as much as our collective conscience of real-life tragedy as the talents of the filmmaker, but that doesn't keep it from being one of the most arresting scenes this year.
09/18/03
Raises disquieting questions about what it means to present an accurate, convincing reenactment of such an event, but is ultimately an insightful and non-exploitative treatment of the subject.
09/03/03
Writer-director Ben Coccio has made an intensely immediate, meticulously detailed bone-chiller -- it haunts you long after you’ve wished it would go away.
05/22/04
Interestingly enough, it is in letting us get to know the assailants, not the victims, that Coccio makes us grieve.
11/23/03
It has a power and immediacy that makes it much more worthwhile than Home Room.
09/03/03
Top CriticA tough film to forget.
