Los Angeles Times

But even with the occasional voiceover narration, the film can't quite replicate the appeal of Noël's original, where a lot of the action is internal, dealing with these women's opinions and feelings.

Melissa Sloter

Pop Culture Leftovers

Unlike in some dead girl stories, we do get Zoë's perspective of events but the film, based on the novel of the same name by Alyson Noel, sticks close to the formula throughout.

Cinemalogue

While it taps into contemporary teenage angst, this low-budget thriller lacks the narrative dexterity to make its weighty ideas feel more provocative.

Saving Zoë honestly should have stayed a book.

Eye for Film

Saving Zoe is, ultimately, a lightweight film about a serious subject.

Narrativamente reiterativa, pero con una edición que plantea de buena forma el suspense, "Saving Zoë" de 2019; está lejos de ser imposible de ver, Laura Marano salva a esta película envuelta de un cast de novatos que terminan entorpeciendo la seriedad que la trama busca crear, pero que de alguna forma gracias al bajo presupuesto de la cinta hace que volvamos tangible el duelo de la protagonista tanto en su primer año escolar cómo en digerir la pérdida de su hermana, los lugares se sientes a doc a los que un adolescente tendría acceso, cómo una fiesta aburrida en casa de sus amigos, que se limita a una sala pequeña o lo monótono de su escuela, esta cinta se aleja de los lugares estereotipados de películas para adolescentes. Un suspenso que poco a poco se va volviendo más interesante, aunque con una resolución muy floja, lo que pareciera el punto climático de la cinta se vuelve su resolución, pareciendo que no hubo un cierre real en el arco evolutivo de nuestra protagonista en la historia, más allá del entender mejor a su hermana. Una historia muy poco propositiva pero entretenida de ver, sin pretensiones reales de ser más de lo que muestran en primera plana, con momentos visualmente interesantes, pero nada que haga que sea especial.

This is a really bad and a very lame movie. It has a very predictable storyline from the beginning right until the closing credits. It's full of plot holes. Bad and unconvincing acting, by all actors. Overall, it's a very poorly made movie.

Bit of a Meh Experience..Maybe The Book's Better? Seemed A Little Too Self-satisfied In What Was Produced. Nothing New Or Exceptional. It Doesn't Explore Much That Isn't Being Done Better Out There Already. I'd Recommend Wes Craven's 'Scream' Series Are Far more Superior To This & Better Thrill Ride.

I was hoping it was a decent movie but was expecting a lame one. I was very pleasantly surprised!! I really really loved it!! I really felt for the characters, especially Echo. She's an excellent actress. I highly recommend seeing this movie!!

A soap opera story turned into a movie, based on a book, produced and starring Laura and Vanessa Marano, very disappointing, without rhythm, emotion, surprise turns, or anything.
