There's just not enough to hold onto, resulting a film that’s an admirable experiment but a misfire, nonetheless. Go to Full Review Sam Adams Slate 3d
Drawing heavily on Agnès Varda’s Cléo From 5 to 7, with a little Chris Marker and Wong Kar-wai thrown in for good measure, it can feel sometimes like a vibe in search of a story, but the vibes are often exquisite. Go to Full Review Bilge Ebiri New York Magazine/Vulture 3d
It feels as if Kogonada has finally unleashed all his suppressed formalist energy. The movie feels like a release valve, an artiste’s penance. Go to Full Review Ross Bonaime Collider 12h
5/10
Even though zi isn’t quite the powerhouse of independent cinema that films like Columbus and After Yang were, it does feel like the work that Kogonada needed to do in order to right his sails and figure out where to go next. Go to Full Review Cory Woodroof For the Win at USA Today 16h
Kogonada will always thrive when he's merging liminal spaces with sweeping emotions, zi a stellar return to form for the Columbus and After Yang auteur. Go to Full Review Kevin L. Lee AwardsWatch 1d

Kogonada has always been a filmmaker whose warmth has moved me immensely. zi is a step in the right direction aesthetically, but it’s such a shame that when you reach out for something to hold onto, there’s mostly just air. Go to Full Review Read all reviews
