Zero Motivation Ratings & Reviews
Reel Talk Online
Candice Frederick
First time feature writer/director Talya Lavie impressively creates a witty and tangible dramedy about working women hampered by their own stagnation.

Cole Smithey
Talya Lavie's 2014 black comedy, about a woman's place in the Israeli Army, plays like a cross between "Reform School Girls" and "Catch 22."
Bust Magazine
Natalia Hadjigeorgiou
The strength of the personal narrative combined with a fine balance of dark and comedic tones, as well as an overall excellent cast, makes this film well worth the watch.
Epoch Times
Joe Bendel
Tonally, Zero is constantly shifting all over the place. You can never get too comfortable with the film, but that is what makes it distinctive.
The Film Stage
Jared Mobarak
This isn't some fluff piece of sorority drama and jokes. There are still consequences for every action and just because Zohar is the lead doesn't mean she's immune to them.
Critic's Notebook
Martin Tsai
In a way the film is radically post-feminist, with women unapologetically succumbing to instincts both natural and cultural with no regard for the codes of conduct in the male-oriented microcosm.
Philadelphia Inquirer
Tirdad Derakhshani
A delightful, sharp dramedy that skewers the topic from every angle imaginable.
Los Angeles Times
Kenneth Turan
Divided into three loosely connected stories involving the same players, "Zero Motivation" is strongest in its characters and its connection to an Israeli reality we can feel even if we've never experienced it.
Chicago Sun-Times
Bill Stamets
The office comedy is weak. The gross-out gags are too safe. A covert lesbian crush is underused.
Arizona Republic
Bill Goodykoontz
There's method in the madness, but little of it elsewhere in "Zero Motivation."
Seattle Times
Tom Keogh
A series of absurd vignettes set in a remote military unit that is running on its own nutty, internal rules and values, this comedy's bite grows sharper the longer one watches.
Boston Globe
Peter Keough
It is much like the first season of a TV series that has gotten off to a slow start.
Wall Street Journal
Joe Morgenstern
Here's a nice surprise, a zestful, slightly autobiographical debut feature from Israel, written and directed by a woman, Talya Lavie, that takes satirical aim at the passions, frustrations and sexual politics of women in the army.
San Francisco Chronicle
Mick LaSalle
Percolates at a low boil for 100 minutes, neither dull nor particularly compelling.
Slate
Miriam Krule
Zero Motivation is what you would get if the Coen brothers directed an episode of Broad City in Israel.
AV Club
Vadim Rizov
Melancholy climactic trajectory aside, Zero Motivation is primarily very funny, thanks both to its game cast and Lavie's flair for unexpected gags ...
RogerEbert.com
Godfrey Cheshire
Like classic military comedies from "Catch-22" to "M*A*S*H," Talya Lavie's "Zero Motivation" offers its own appealing blend of irreverence and absurdism.
New York Times
Manohla Dargis
As [Ms. Lavie] moves her characters from situation to situation ... it becomes evident that she had some ideas for a movie, if not enough.
Village Voice
Alan Scherstuhl
Zero Motivation proves something more than a piercing army/office comedy.
Slant Magazine
Nick McCarthy
Tayla Lavie's film misses the prime opportunity to remark on the triviality of war.
