Keith Uhlich Time Out Tapa has a notably keen and compassionate eye, particularly for faces and locales. Rated: 3/5 Aug 1, 2023 Full Review Mike Hale New York Times [Director Tariq Tapa's] neorealist approach, not supported by much technique, gets dreary, but he has an ace up his sleeve. Rated: 2.5/5 Feb 18, 2011 Full Review Scott Tobias AV Club The wisp of a story that drives the film follows the neo-realist template a little too closely. Rated: C+ Feb 17, 2011 Full Review Derek Smith Tiny Mix Tapes While the film's minimalist nature is its greatest asset in the first act, it ultimately makes its flaws and screenwriterly touches all the more apparent, resulting in some great individual slice-of-life sequences and some truly hackneyed ones. Rated: 1.5/5 Oct 11, 2015 Full Review Marcy Dermansky About.com Almost effortlessly, the plot of Zero Bridge grabs you. Rated: 4/5 Feb 20, 2011 Full Review Nora Lee Mandel Film-Forward.com Despite story elements that don't jive, successfully personalizes new generation's sadly thwarted yearnings for freedom from traditional restrictions in a stymied place. Rated: 6/10 Feb 19, 2011 Full Review Read all reviews

walter m "Zero Bridge" starts with Dilawar(Mohamad Emran Tapa) meeting an acquaintance at a bridge, after which they do a little light purse snatching. They have a disagreement about the split which draws the attention of a soldier, landing them both in jail. Dilawar's devout uncle Ali(Ali Muhammed Dar) bails him out. In the meantime, Bani(Taniya Khan) is looking to replace her stolen passport. While lacking sorely in technique, "Zero Bridge" is still an engaging look at a teenager who is at a stage in his life when he is making tons of mistakes, not thinking that his actions might have consequences. However, this does not excuse his uncle, whose whole life is built on hard work and has asked for nothing, handing down punishments that are on the verge of abusive. All of this happens in Kashmir which is marred by violence, corrobated by news reports and the ubiquitous soldiers who keep people from loitering at a bridge, by force, if necessary. In the end, area youth are left with few options if they want to stay. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Audience Member Kind of has an Italian Neo-Realism feel; about a guy and girl kind of stuck in poor parts of Kashmir and the lack of choices they have; his pickpocketing sort of leads to her problems....but they kind of fall for each other anyway--doesn't work out Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 01/18/23 Full Review Read all reviews
