Zig Zag Reviews
Newsday
Gene Seymour
The movie, despite its rough edges and a tendency to sag in certain places, is wry and engrossing.
New York Post
Megan Turner
The character of ZigZag is not sufficiently developed to support a film constructed around him.
Los Angeles Times
Kevin Thomas
A small movie with a big impact.
New York Times
A.O. Scott
ZigZag might have been richer and more observant if it were less densely plotted.
Reel Film Reviews
David Nusair
...the film suffers from an overly meandering pace and a central character that's just not all that interesting.
Film Threat
Merle Bertrand
Heartwarming and gently comic even as the film breaks your heart.
Apollo Guide
Scott Weinberg
Not at all clear what it's trying to say and even if it were - I doubt it would be all that interesting.
TV Guide
Ken Fox
Leguizamo and Jones are both excellent and the rest of the cast is uniformly superb.
Observer
Andrew Sarris
Mr. Goyer's loose, unaccountable direction is technically sophisticated in the worst way.
Hollywood Reporter
Frank Scheck
Goyer's screenplay and direction are thankfully understated, and he has drawn excellent performances from his cast.
Village Voice
Michael Atkinson
An ambitiously naturalistic, albeit half-baked, drama about an abused, inner-city autistic teen.
L.A. Weekly
John Dentino
A great ensemble cast can't lift this heartfelt enterprise out of the familiar.
New Times
Robert Wilonsky
Though Jones and Snipes are enthralling, the movie bogs down in rhetoric and clich.
