dave s @RT68722908 01/16/2021 Zero Motivation tells the story of young women performing their mandatory service with the Israel Defense Forces, stationed in the administration office of an isolated desert base. In an effort to make their time more tolerable, they resort to singing, finetuning their Minesweeper skills, and keeping their treasured staple guns well hidden, among other things. The film, which is divided into three stories, swings between dry comedy and impactful drama. It is well written, beautifully photographed, and well-acted, but could have had more punch had the characters been more clearly developed. Despite this minor criticism, Zero Motivation is a solid debut for promising first-time director Talya Lavie. See more 06/20/2018 This is writer-director Talya Lavie's Israeli answer to M*A*S*H, a dark comedy more about bureaucracy than war, except insofar as it includes an epic staple-gun battle. Dana Ivgy and Nelly Tagar put in fine performances as friends in a desert camp's administrative unit. See more 05/23/2017 amazing. amazing. amazing. totally unforgettable. loved every moment of it. See more 01/28/2017 The Rotten Tomatoes description for this film is inaccurate, and the film is highly overrated. Neither I nor my two friends found the film funny at all, there was nothing "quick witted" about it, and overall it was dark and depressing. We stopped watching it about half-way through. None of the top critics' reviews raved about it either. We would give it a rating no higher than 40%. It was neither entertaining, humorous, nor gripping. See more 01/02/2017 So much potential wasted on two bratty leads. See more 05/25/2016 A darkly comic military satire that offers new dimensions and exciting characters. See more Read all reviews
