Critics Consensus

Z for Zachariah wrings compelling drama out of its simplistic premise -- albeit at a pace that may test the patience of less contemplative viewers.

This was an interesting excursion pushed along by solid performances from its characters. It's not an action film by any stretch of the imagination but does a pretty good job within the confines of its set up.

A very predictable movie that I wished stuck to the original source material.

A clever, thought provoking movie about the end of humanity that doesn't show the horrors of what has happened, but focuses on the now and the moral ambiguities in surviving.

Superb acting and beautiful scenery in a slow but gripping tale about the end of the world. Who loves who? Who is going to kill who? Who are these characters, really? This movie may hang with you for days!

Not a conventional movie and it doesn't spell it all out for you. I liked it a lot, thought I want to be sure....

"Z for Zachariah is a solid relationship drama disguised as post-apocalyptic tale.

Noel Murray

Nashville Scene

The deviations from O'Brien's plot don't always work, but the characters do come across as real people, in a believably fallen world, following a carefully planned-out path and trying to avoid a fatal misstep.

'Z for Zachariah' is a film of ideas, but those ideas never overpower the people it's about.

Vadim Rizov

Filmmaker Magazine

Heather McIntosh’s score reinforces every obvious emotion in hacky fashion, and there’s a bad sex scene to boot.

Keith & the Movies

Zobel engages his audience not through the normal and expected genre machinations, but by peeling back revealing layers of humanity.

Rated: 4/5

Deep Focus Review

A somewhat aloof allegory that, though visually appealing and serving a trio of fine, understated performances, never fully immerses us in the drama.

Rated: 2.5/4
