Too much of “Dear Zoe,” though, feels factory-designed to engineer emotion rather than aiming to earn it organically.

Dear Zoe is the kind of film that too often goes unseen.

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

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

Sink’s performance is beautiful. The young star effortlessly manoeuvres the various stages of grief and makes a compelling lead.

Rated: 3/5

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.

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
