Noel Murray 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. Jul 11, 2019 Full Review 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. Jul 21, 2019 Full Review Todd Jorgenson Cinemalogue While it taps into contemporary teenage angst, this low-budget thriller lacks the narrative dexterity to make its weighty ideas feel more provocative. Jul 13, 2019 Full Review Danielle Solzman Solzy at the Movies Saving Zoë honestly should have stayed a book. Rated: 2.5/5 Jul 12, 2019 Full Review Jennie Kermode Eye for Film Saving Zoe is, ultimately, a lightweight film about a serious subject. Rated: 2.5/5 Jul 9, 2019 Full Review Read all reviews

Daniel B 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. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 03/15/24 Full Review Kelly G Boring ....poor acting bad writing it jumped around a lot .. terrible movie Rated 1 out of 5 stars 04/04/23 Full Review T T 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. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 03/15/23 Full Review Audience Member 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. Rated 1 out of 5 stars 02/21/23 Full Review Audience Member 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!! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/12/23 Full Review Audience Member 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. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 01/25/23 Full Review Read all reviews
