Movie NationRoger MooreSep 18, 2019
Whatever its virtues, the film comes together more adroitly than satisfyingly. Think of Zeroville as an artifact, worth looking at as a piece of pre-history that cannot — at present — shed its baggage, and frankly didn’t need that off-screen baggage to be a bust. Read full review

[A] lethargic, hallucinatory mish-mash with matching dialogue that has all the zing of a Wikipedia entry. Read full review
