Critics Consensus

Zoe has some interesting ideas but never manages to get a satisfying grip on them, settling for slow-moving sci-fi that ultimately fails to engage.

Lea Seydoux is so brilliant in this film. Very well made story about the future of AI and how robots very well could be used. Similar to the movie "Her" I found it a lot more interesting and better told.

Rated 4 out of 5 stars

A film hasn't made me cry for years. Romantic sci-fi is definitely now my thing. The atmosphere between the leading characters was electric. Breathtaking. Curious to know more about their lives and what happens next.

Interesting premise. Great performances. You can't go wrong with Ewan McGregor. An fascinating treatment of issues we're going to be dealing with in the near future.

New York Times

The yearning displayed by Cole and Zoe is meant to be profound. But at a certain point the examination of loss in love ceases to show sensitivity and begins to look like emotional immaturity.

Wrestling with the intrinsic creepiness of the premise would involve some social commentary, self-awareness, and honest-to-God storytelling, and that's not Doremus' bag.

The non-stop, navel-gazing, faux philosophical dialogue about love starts to feel like some strange experiment itself.

Rated: 1/4

While Doremus' work centers around connections, it's near impossible for the audience to connect with Zoe.

Rated: 3/10

What helps to set "Zoe" apart is that Doremus aims equally for your head and your heart.

Rated: 3/4

Film School Rejects

Zoe constructs a dialogue between these two critically adored movies and peels apart the kind of fantasy they satisfy in order to obligingly critique it.
