Critic Reviews

Joe Leydon

Evidencing savvy visual flair and compelling storytelling skill, Goyer infuses heart and vigor into material that could have come off as overly familiar at best, sappily improbable at worst. Read full review

Merle Bertrand

ZigZag rests heavily on Jones III's sensational turn as the lead character. Capable of drawing empathy without pity from an audience, his ZigZag is the unlikely constant in a world swirling with change and intrigue. Read full review

Jack Mathews

The greatest strength of this modest production is Jones. ZigZag's autism is mild, meaning his symptoms are subtle, and the 19-year-old novice is completely convincing. Read full review

John Dentino

A great ensemble cast can't lift this heartfelt enterprise out of the familiar. Read full review

Dana Stevens

Might have been richer and more observant if it were less densely plotted. The characters would resonate more if there were fewer of them, and if they were not pushed through so many contrived dramatic incidents. Read full review

Megan Lehmann

The character of ZigZag is not sufficiently developed to support a film constructed around him. Read full review

New Times (L.A.) Robert Wilonsky

Either a put-on or a straight shooter; that you can't tell the difference underscores its small but ultimately overwhelming flaws. Read full review
