My Zoe dares to lead with its feelings, and that fearlessness provides a striking spectacle itself.

There are moments in “My Zoe” that are hard to watch, unthinkable in their emotional brutality. That Delpy finds her way to the ending she does—and earns it is—no small accomplishment.

An unusually compelling domestic drama with sharp ears, a sharp eye, and up to a point, sharp teeth.

Some may be exhausted by the emotional weight of divorce, but Delpy carries us through each stage of grief and motherhood with a deft directorial touch.

A film that takes daring risks which don’t always pay off. ... Delpy should be credited for her audaciousness, and My Zoe is a film which is often more interesting theoretically than it is to experience in the moment.

Feb 26, 2021
A clumsy, off-putting, uninvolving hybrid of domestic tragedy and sci-fi drama with zero payoffs and one of the most infuriating codas of any movie this century.
By Richard Roeper FULL REVIEW

But while the film is effective on its own narrow terms, it lacks the spark of urgency, suppleness of tone and freshness of insight that would make it truly compelling.
