The story of a composer who looks for the meaning of isolation and silence after losing his dad.

Little White Lies

Stylish scenery can't save this sluggish, over-laboured effort.

Rated: 2/5

Characters say things like: "He spoke to the infinite, and the infinite replied." But there is also an eerie, painterly beauty.

Rated: 4/5

Guardian

Dafoe is a fine actor, and his willingness to leave his comfort zone is admirable, but this feels like a misstep.

Willem Dafoe does his best to make sense of an incoherent, pretentious film.

Battle Royale With Cheese

Opus Zero doesn't lack beauty, but its absence of a story is unforgivable. There is little to be gained by its constant philosophical teachings despite the apparent effort to speak to whoever sees it.

Daily Mirror (UK)

By choosing to substitute plot in favour of a discourse on the relationship between reality, filmmaking and memory, this may test the patience of the casual viewer.

Rated: 3/5
