Guardian

Zebra Girl's quirky comedy is not quite distinctive enough, and the script lurches iffily into serious issues of child abuse and mental illness in the second half.

Rated: 2/5

FILMINK (Australia)

Ultimately, Zebra Girl does have some pertinent themes but is hampered by a messy narrative that begs more questions than it answers. Despite its failings, the film manages to be generally engaging if eventually dubious.

Flickering Myth

After a soup of disappointing stabs at comedy and a laughably overwrought, ominous musical score, the movie rather limps to its closing credits.

Rated: 1/5

Radio Times

Some might cavil at the arguably lurid portrayal of mental illness, but the film shows consistent sympathy for its embattled protagonist as events slip out of her.

Rated: 3/5

Though the story is not a pleasant one, Roy's chilling performance gets under your skin, is forceful and stands out.

Rated: B-

Shadows on the Wall

Adapted by Derek Ahonen from his play, this blackly comical horror is given a wonderfully cinematic zing by inventive director Stephanie Zari... A superb trip into an addled mind.

Rated: 4/5

I usually like comedy / horror movies and even though this one had a solid background story I didn't enjoy it much, partly because I didn't like the cast and it wasn't very fun.

Rated 2 out of 5 stars
