Killing Zoe

What to Know

Critics Consensus

Senselessly violent and mean-spirited, Killing Zoe fails to deliver a much needed cleverness to back up its hyper-stylized flourishes.

Jamie Dunn The Skinny It sweeps you up in Eric's Dionysian revelry and, like Zed, you'll be clambering for a shower afterwards. Rated: 5/5 Jul 30, 2015 Full Review Owen Gleiberman Entertainment Weekly Rated: C- Sep 7, 2011 Full Review Entertainment Weekly Rated: C- Jan 1, 2011 Full Review Rob Gonsalves Rob's Movie Vault I am not slamming this Roger Avary film for not being a Quentin Tarantino film. I am slamming it for not being a good Roger Avary film. Rated: C- Aug 4, 2007 Full Review Emanuel Levy EmanuelLevy.Com An ultra-violent but vapid crime caper that owes as much to Tarantino as to film noir, both American and French.

thiago s Filme fraco, o roteiro é fraco, as cenas são fracas, a história é fraca, o elenco é fraco, e ninguém ajuda a melhorar o filme, os personagens são fracos, e o filme deveria ter cenas bem melhores e relevantes, para fazer o filme ser bom Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 08/23/25 Full Review Michael H It sweeps you up in Eric's Dionysian revelry and, like Zed, you'll be clambering for a shower afterwards. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 08/22/25 Full Review Damian M Movie may be in french 90 percent of the time, but you get the jyst of what there saying Rated 5 out of 5 stars 08/13/25 Full Review Matt C An absolute must see for anyone from the Gen X generation. While far from perfect, and with a very loose script, the characters hold it together well, and the two leads put in fine performances. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 03/20/25 Full Review Chief B I don't get the score here. Yes it's violent but this movie is AWESOME!! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 03/04/25 Full Review D F A unique period piece movie. I’ve come back to watch Killing Zoe every 7 to 10 years and this was one of those years. It is by no means a masterpiece. It is a very violent and turbulent flick. Having said that I think it captures the spirit of the era extremely well in its often chaotic mash up of drugs, violence and rebellion. It’s definitely an acquired taste. I realize this movie is not everyone’s cup of tea but I happen to enjoy the gritty edges which make me come back every so often to watch it again. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 04/21/24 Full Review Read all reviews
