Ronnie Scheib Variety 05/31/2024
Uniquely accessing an endless flow of rampant hypocrisy, [Zipper] should amuse audiences even as it horrifies. Go to Full Review Annlee Ellingson Los Angeles Times 08/29/2013
3.5/5
The story isn't over by the time "Zipper" ends, but Nicholson manages to close on a nostalgic, if not quite hopeful, note. Go to Full Review Lou Lumenick New York Post 08/09/2013
3/4
"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. Go to Full Review John Beifuss Commercial Appeal (Memphis, TN) 11/15/2013
2.5/4
Entertaining and engrossing... Go to Full Review Michael Nordine L.A. Weekly 08/28/2013
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. Go to Full Review Avi Offer NYC Movie Guru 08/10/2013
7.0/10
