The 1961 preparations for the execution of Adolf Eichmann, a principal architect of the Holocaust, are revisited in a gripping and surprising new vision from American filmmaker Jake Paltrow. Based on true accounts, June Zero is told from the unique perspectives of three distinct figures: Eichmann's Jewish Moroccan prison guard, an Israeli police investigator who also happens to be a Holocaust survivor and a precocious and clever 13-year-old Libyan immigrant.

Amy Nicholson

Washington Post

There’s a bit of vengeful comedy when the cinematographer Yaron Scharf introduces Eichmann feet first on the toilet over the sounds of Beethoven’s “Pathétique.”

San Francisco Chronicle

Though each of the plotlines in “June Zero” stir up ethical questions, its primary approach is to look at people living their lives while an extraordinary event comes to its climax. That leaves the movie open to multiple, marvelous interpretations...

Rated: 3/4

The film ponders what it means to have the power to distort and weaponize collective memory.

Paltrow's movie unsettles, never shrinking from complexity as it details how a major trial impacted the lives of ordinary Israelis.

Finding an approach that dares to be different, June Zero makes a worthy entrance into the realm of Holocaust related films.

Paltrow deserves credit for coming up with an original idea: using Eichmann as an entry point to focus on ordinary people in extraordinary times, hash out the intersectional identities of each character and unofficially layout the inherent complications

A dull, boring and confusing film with subtitles often set against a light background making it difficult to read. I understand the writer's admirable intention to look at the Eichmann trial from a fresh perspective, but this effort is definitely not for most viewers! If you gave me a hundred dollars to summarize this film in three or four sentences I couldn't do it!
