Zero for Conduct Ratings & Reviews
Village Voice
Jonas Mekas
Those faces of children in Zero for Conduct! In no other film have I seen faces like these. Those eyes, those motions, those smiles, those countenances, always ready for mischief.

I've gotten a better understanding of Vigo's vision and where he got the inspiration to be inventive with his camera...
The Nation
James Agee
It is hard for me to imagine how anyone with a curious eye and intelligence can fail to be excited by it, for it is one of the most visually eloquent and adventurous movies I have seen.
From the Front Row
Mattie Lucas
A work that doggedly refuses to be categorized, seemingly existing within a child's imagination, both vibrantly youthful and disarmingly wise.
Dennis Schwartz Movie Reviews
Dennis Schwartz
It's surreal and zany anarchistic slapstick, filmed as if Charlie Chaplin was a teacher in the dreaded suburban boys' boarding school.
Q Network Film Desk
James Kendrick
a funny, fantastical exaggeration of childhood exuberance and adult idiocy
Antagony & Ecstasy
Tim Brayton
Pretty great, but also overwhelming: Vigo clearly had a good 80 or 90 minutes worth of movie that he had to fit into half the running time.
EmanuelLevy.Com
Emanuel Levy
One of the most haunting and influential films ever made about childhood, Vigo's feature protests rigid authority and celebrates anarchic revolution. This personal film influenced two other great works: Truffaut's 400 Blows and Lindsay Anderson's If.
New York Times
A.H. Weiler
These amorphous scenes, strung together by a vague continuity may be art but they are also pretty chaotic.
TV Guide
One of the greatest films about children ever made and a haunting celebration of anarchic rebellion.
Combustible Celluloid
Jeffrey M. Anderson
It's Vigo's most personal work... unrefined, reckless, and sloppy.
Chicago Reader
Dave Kehr
A wholly original creation, the film walks a narrow line between surrealist farce and social realism.
