Keith Uhlich AV Club There's a good movie lurking in here somewhere. Rated: C- Apr 16, 2015 Full Review Robert Abele Los Angeles Times A solid sci-fi story with a welcome emotional component, yet never fully effective at either. Apr 9, 2015 Full Review Noel Murray The Dissolve The best scenes come early, well before the explanatory extravaganza that the movie turns into down the stretch. Rated: 2.5/5 Apr 8, 2015 Full Review MaryAnn Johanson Flick Filosopher Thematically ambitious... but falls down where it needs to be strongest: its emotional tenor ranges from inexplicable to implausible. Oct 26, 2020 Full Review Deirdre Crimmins Film Thrills Conal Byrne does a decent job of carrying all of the various parts, but his performance does not give nuance to each person as an individual character. Aug 21, 2018 Full Review Nathan Bartlebaugh The Film Stage Zero is worth seeing, even if it can be occasionally frustrating in execution. Rated: C+ Feb 23, 2016 Full Review Read all reviews

Gabriel G I won't state anything new that hasn't been said. Well shot and superbly acted but slow as a snail. It really is a shore to sit through. There's a good movie somewhere in there but there's no sense of urgency, you don't care about the characters, some of the character's actions are completely non-sensical (so we don't care) -- in order words the script needed more work. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 04/15/23 Full Review Audience Member This was really, really terrible. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 02/26/23 Full Review Audience Member It was okay. The twists felt forced, and I hated how they were always switching clothes, because I was confused on which clone was who. Skip it, it's questionable. The ending makes sense, but when the wife makes a remark about her necklace, you can tell how the movie resolves. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 01/13/23 Full Review Audience Member An interesting enough idea, but it's poorly realised. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 01/25/23 Full Review Audience Member Interesting concept with a couple twists, but it's such a snoozefest it's hard to really care. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 02/12/23 Full Review Audience Member Biotech version of "Primer" with the morality of "Puzzlehead" thrown in. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 02/10/23 Full Review Read all reviews
