What to Know

Critics Consensus

Zoe has some interesting ideas but never manages to get a satisfying grip on them, settling for slow-moving sci-fi that ultimately fails to engage.

Glenn Kenny New York Times Aug 14, 2018
The yearning displayed by Cole and Zoe is meant to be profound. But at a certain point the examination of loss in love ceases to show sensitivity and begins to look like emotional immaturity. Go to Full Review

Wrestling with the intrinsic creepiness of the premise would involve some social commentary, self-awareness, and honest-to-God storytelling, and that's not Doremus' bag. Go to Full Review

The non-stop, navel-gazing, faux philosophical dialogue about love starts to feel like some strange experiment itself. Go to Full Review

4/5
The result is a restrained, meditative, and almost poetic look at love, longing, and intimacy, which at this point is practically a long-running motif in the director’s romances. Go to Full Review

While Doremus' work centers around connections, it's near impossible for the audience to connect with Zoe. Go to Full Review

What helps to set "Zoe" apart is that Doremus aims equally for your head and your heart. Go to Full Review

Richard G @Filmdad730 Sep 3, 2026 Heartbreaking and beautiful. Lea Seydoux is radiant and Ewan McGregor shows off his depth. Wonderful film about human and non human connection. See more
Dropkick A @RT19752692 Oct 31, 2025 *SPOILER ALERT* If you want to enjoy this movie, watch it to the point that a car hit zoe and then cole try to save zoe by doing an operation on her after that skip the whole movie until you see the scene where zoe visit the synthetics night club again by almost the end of the movie. The whole mid section of the movie is pointless and horribly written it ruins the wholesome and thought provoking intro. See more
Alejandro B @Velero Sep 8, 2025 So corny that one's head might start shivering uncontrollably. See more
Laura G @RT36753845 Jul 12, 2025 Los temas que toca la película son actuales (IA, relaciones) el problema recae en no abordar alguno… lo superficial es tan notorio al caer en un abismo “emocional”. Pretenciosa. See more
Scott M @RT75128960 Feb 4, 2024 Lea Seydoux is so brilliant in this film. Very well made story about the future of AI and how robots very well could be used. Similar to the movie "Her" I found it a lot more interesting and better told. See more
Joel C @RT18209078 Jan 24, 2024 Great love story.If you like Drake Doremus, you'll LOVE this film, it's his best. See more
