What to Know

Critics Consensus

Zerophilia has some intriguing ideas, but they're imparted with a frustrating lack of wit, daring, or valuable insight.

Peter Debruge Variety 11/06/2006
Amid deliberately campy situations and sophomoric jokes, Zerophilia offers a disarmingly sweet lesson about learning to identify with the opposite gender. Go to Full Review
J. R. Jones Chicago Reader 11/01/2006
The script's lazy convenience is embodied by a beautiful neuromorphologist (Gina Bellman) who arrives on the scene to explain everything that's going on. Go to Full Review

2/4
Boasts a fertile premise but a sterile outcome. Go to Full Review
Kam Williams Insight News 06/01/2007
4/4
As adroitly executed a directorial debut as you could ever hope to find, this ingenious, sci-fi comedy revolves around a mythological malady which causes carriers to change gender whenever they make love. Go to Full Review
Ken Fox TV Guide 11/01/2006
2/4
Anyone who understands the meaning of the title or catches all the frog references scattered through writer-director Martin Curland's feature debut will have a head start understanding this confused and confusing comedy. Go to Full Review

Diane H Nov 19 It's different and interesting. I enjoyed it. See more 09/17/2013 I think I see the points the film tries to address; but it just fails to execute the complicated ideas in good balance. See more 09/06/2013 made by high school kids. has to be. See more 07/21/2013 Not half bad......the concept was original and quite interesting but the execution needed work, and the acting could have done with some improvement as well. See more 02/16/2013 Sex definitely changes you! So I FINALLY got to see Zerophilia (after having ordered it from Amazon), and I tell you it was a gem! For those who haven't yet seen it, then do so ASAP - for those who hv, you know what I'm talking about. It was cute and funny. Okay not over the top like some Hollywood productions, but it had that uniqueness of an "Indy" (independent film) feel to it. I found myself chuckling and L-ing O L at some parts, and feeling the main character's (Luke's) frustration on the whole gender switching ordeal. And of course, I found myself asking the question(s), what would it be like to gender switch on a whim? (although in the film there was more "manipulation" required ;) than just a whim). And then, what gender would I ultimately choose to be? And of course, Kyle Schmid (as Max) and the great "reveal" in the shower scene! <-- That really got me! I literally said out loud (but to myself): "Wow, I didn't see that coming!" And then things just fell into place. I'm so glad I discovered this film (and of course if not having become a fan of Kyle since seeing him in "Blood Ties", I may have NEVER known about it.) Zerophilia is a definite must see!! See more 12/22/2012 Una historia curiosa y cuando digo curiosa, me refiero a diferente e incluso extraña. Es una pelìcula ligera, que cumple con el objetivo de entretener pero nada màs. 5/10 See more Read all reviews
