There's a good movie lurking in here somewhere.

Los Angeles Times

A solid sci-fi story with a welcome emotional component, yet never fully effective at either.

The Dissolve

The best scenes come early, well before the explanatory extravaganza that the movie turns into down the stretch.

Rated: 2.5/5

Thematically ambitious... but falls down where it needs to be strongest: its emotional tenor ranges from inexplicable to implausible.

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.

Zero is worth seeing, even if it can be occasionally frustrating in execution.

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.

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.

An interesting enough idea, but it's poorly realised.

Interesting concept with a couple twists, but it's such a snoozefest it's hard to really care.

Biotech version of "Primer" with the morality of "Puzzlehead" thrown in.
