      Annlee Ellingson Los Angeles Times The story isn't over by the time "Zipper" ends, but Nicholson manages to close on a nostalgic, if not quite hopeful, note. Rated: 3.5/5 Aug 29, 2013 Full Review Lou Lumenick New York Post "Zipper'' tells a story of a Coney Island that is still very much a work in progress, and where there seems to be no room for small-time operators like Eddie Miranda. Rated: 3/4 Aug 9, 2013 Full Review Nicolas Rapold New York Times Though not terribly nuanced, a bit muddled and lacking certain perspectives, "Zipper" drives home the fragile identity of even the city's signature locales and the alarming cultural myopia of much redevelopment ... Rated: 3/5 Aug 8, 2013 Full Review John Beifuss Commercial Appeal (Memphis, TN) Entertaining and engrossing... Rated: 2.5/4 Nov 15, 2013 Full Review Michael Nordine L.A. Weekly More effective as a loving send-off than an insightful look at the so-called "tides of progress" that have led to Coney Island's slow decline. Aug 28, 2013 Full Review Avi Offer NYC Movie Guru A gentle, informative elegy for Coney Island which will never be the same again. Rated: 7.0/10 Aug 10, 2013 Full Review Read all reviews
