Elizabeth Weitzman TheWrap Too much of “Dear Zoe,” though, feels factory-designed to engineer emotion rather than aiming to earn it organically. Nov 3, 2022 Full Review Richard Propes TheIndependentCritic.com Dear Zoe is the kind of film that too often goes unseen. Rated: 3.0/4.0 Jan 15, 2023 Full Review Lisa Nystrom FILMINK (Australia) … emotionally generous performances that are captivating to watch Rated: 15/20 Dec 26, 2022 Full Review Tara McNamara Common Sense Media While Sink does her job of relaying what's on the page, the directing, somehow, doesn't offer viewers an understanding of what's going on with Tess in between the lines Rated: 3/5 Nov 9, 2022 Full Review Rich Cline Shadows on the Wall The writers and director Wells repeatedly fall back on melodrama, pushing the emotionality with the full range of movie gimmickry. Rated: 2/5 Nov 8, 2022 Full Review Kat Hughes THN Sink’s performance is beautiful. The young star effortlessly manoeuvres the various stages of grief and makes a compelling lead. Rated: 3/5 Nov 7, 2022 Full Review Read all reviews

T B left after 50 minutes. trite and unoriginal. mediocre writing & acting. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 11/10/22 Full Review Google Well acted, especially Sadie Sink. Good pacing. Thoughtful story that was believable and touching Rated 5 out of 5 stars 11/06/22 Full Review Audience Member Very cool and good drama movie 👌🏻 Rated 5 out of 5 stars 11/08/24 Full Review Cristian s Un drama romántico que toca con cierta mirada inocente temas como la perdida, el duelo, la depresión, el consumo y otras cosas que rozan la ilegalidad. Esta bien, cumple y te llega como pretende llegarte. Las actuaciones son clave, diría que el pilar de todo el film. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 09/18/24 Full Review Reayln B First time watching this movie was two days ago and I literally love this movie so much this is my new favorite I literally so in love wit jimmy and Tess relationship, the way jimmy loves Tess🥹 and I really feel like they go together so well in the movie too like they honestly needa make another one and Sadi sink in this movie is js top tier js can’t get over the fact that this movie is literally sooo good I really recommend this movie if u like romantic/ drama movies Rated 5 out of 5 stars 06/18/24 Full Review Carolina L I think that the movie would probably be better if some of the acting were better, cause there are some of them that omg I can't deal with it. Btw the main actress saves this movie, cause the story is really comovent and I cried in many of hers scenes Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 03/03/24 Full Review Read all reviews
