Zola Ratings & Reviews
National Newspaper Publishers Association
Dwight Brown
The filmmakers, writers and cast are so criminally funny they should all be hailed for shining a light on a serious subject and then arrested by the vice squad for their naughty humor.
The Jewish Chronicle
Linda Marric
Keough is exquisite.
The Ringer
Adam Nayman
It's the perfect visual language for a movie about the comedy, terror, and life-changing perspective of being along for the ride.
Rolling Stone
K. Austin Collins
The smart, hyper-stylish, coded and colorful direction of Janicza Bravo, who wrote the script with playwright Jeremy O. Harris, is what really makes it all swagger and singe.
Chicago Reader
Sheri Flanders
Ultimately, Zola is the perfect summer film; it's a freewheeling joyride through the seamy side of stripping that balances the thrill of voyeurism with the dangerous reality.
Detroit News
Adam Graham
Yet as an extravagant, not-meant-to-be-taken-as-gospel yarn, it's like a rollicking group chat brought to life, and it makes one hell of a story.
Austin Chronicle
Selome Hailu
In Janicza Bravo's Zola, the tale is preserved -- repackaged as not just a comedic thriller, but as a way to explore social media as testimony, a source of perspectives we never had access to before.
Baltimore Magazine
Max Weiss
The film is a ride -- both in the literal and metaphorical sense. I never wanted to get off.
Book & Film Globe
Sara Stewart
If only its subject matter was as daffy as it thinks it is.
Boston Globe
Ty Burr
"Zola" doesn't so much end as run out of gas. But the movie and its maker, the story it tells and the characters it showcases all represent something quite new in American movies. I'm not sure whether to cheer them on or head for the hills.
The New Republic
Lidija Haas
Not old-fashioned enough to slip into a morality tale, it nonetheless won't quite let you feel you're watching a woman get away with something.
The New Yorker
Richard Brody
Few movies as action-filled as Janicza Bravo's "Zola" are directed with such a heightened and refined sense of style.
San Jose Mercury News
Randy Myers
"Zola" is an outlandish, outrageous road picture that is as tawdry and wild as it is well-made and distinctive.
Newsday
Robert Levin
These characters are victimized but not victims, empowered and given the agency to tell their stories, their way.
RogerEbert.com
Sheila O'Malley
It's hard to imagine another filmmaker doing what Bravo does with this material. Her style is very free, very open, while remaining specific and crystal-clear.
Salon.com
Melanie McFarland
Only Bravo's aesthetic approach to recreating this legendary road trip gone dangerously awry, blended with Harris' and King's compatible senses of humor, could result in art and entertainment this spectacular.
Thrillist
Esther Zuckerman
It's a movie birthed by the internet that feels like the internet in all its voyeurism and distressing intimacy.
Vox
Constance Grady
Paige's steeliness gives this movie its heart, and the deadpan terseness of her narration gives it its loopy verve.
Associated Press
Lindsey Bahr
It never seems to decide if we are making fun of the characters or not. Are we being asked to find this world entertaining? Braun's performance seems to suggest yes. Paige's doesn't.
The Atlantic
Shirley Li
Zola is refreshing because it understands a common emotional dependence on the internet, even -- or especially -- in the face of fear and anxiety. Social media, the movie argues, gives all of us the illusion of control.
