Zodiac Killer Project Ratings & Reviews
FilmWeek (LAist)
Tim Cogshell
We learn a lot about Zodiac, but we learn a whole lot more about us.
Los Angeles Times
Robert Abele
Shackleton's perspective is still an intriguing, worthy provocation regarding our cultural bloodlust.
San Francisco Chronicle
G. Allen Johnson
It is certainly clever and inventive to a point, but that point is about 20 minutes in. By then, we get it already, and yet the film drags on for 92 visually uninspiring minutes.
The Reveal
Keith Phipps
Even while laying bare the mechanics he would use to tell a story likely to trip viewers' b******* meters and calling out one genre cliche after another, Zodiac Killer Project almost works as a compelling true crime doc anyway...
New York Times
Alissa Wilkinson
The truth is that Shackleton isn't settling for one mode; he's working in a bunch of them at once, mixing affection and critique. Just like any true fan would.
RogerEbert.com
Sheila O'Malley
Director Charlie Shackleton is a good and entertaining guide.
The New Yorker
Richard Brody
With its cagey pursuit of impossible dreams, Shackleton's hypothetical method, both copious and withholding, is a leap ahead in first-person cinema.
Austin Chronicle
Marjorie Baumgarten
Any students and/or devotees of the true-crime spree rampant in our modern storytelling will find Zodiac Killer Project a must-see.
Filmspotting
Adam Kempenaar
…a deconstruction of true crime… [that] comes around to arriving at some of the same kind of epiphanies that that material, in its best form, often arrives at.
Rolling Stone
David Fear
Zodiac Killer Project is not one more addition to the ever-expanding canon of true-crime docs. It is, in fact, something even better: an oddball, puckish, highly forensic side-eyed look at the True-Crime Entertainment Complex.
NPR
Aisha Harris
Shackleton's narration is wry and astute but also wistful; he's self-aware enough to know he's drawn to this stuff just like so many of us, even as he understands its limitations and drawbacks.
IndieWire
David Ehrlich
The non-film that Shackleton has rescued from the jaws of erasure is almost certainly more rewarding than the one he was originally hoping to make.
TheWrap
Chase Hutchinson
The film shifts into being a work of criticism in its own right by becoming something of a video essay where we see just how much of the sludge of shallow true crime content falls back on the same old tricks.
The Hollywood Reporter
Jordan Mintzer
Charlie Shackleton gets at the heart of what makes these docs so successful on both a psychological and schematic level. He deconstructs the genre but also manages to deepen it.
Slant Magazine
Chuck Bowen
Zodiac Killer Project is a wicked embodiment of Marshall McLuhan's notion of the media itself being the message.
RogerEbert.com
Brian Tallerico
It's a brave, fascinating piece of filmmaking that asks viewers to question the mysteries of true crime storytelling and how they're being told.
Ty Burr's Watch List (Substack)
Ty Burr
Eviscerates with wit and onscreen receipts the conventions of the true-crime genre that have been hammered into cliché over the past decades.
New York Magazine/Vulture
Bilge Ebiri
A work of criticism as well as a work of art, it's a sharp takedown of our culture's obsession with true crime, identifying and skewering the genre's most familiar tropes even as it playfully indulges in them.
Variety
J. Kim Murphy
Speaking to viewers who are cognizant of what films can and cannot be made, "Zodiac Killer Project" is a biting statement on how many artists have been funneled into a creative dead-end by a trend-chasing market.
The Daily Beast
Nick Schager
The result is even better than his initial design: a sharp, hilarious, self-aware, and acutely insightful work of both celebration and critique.
