It is a challenge to combine blistering scenes between hostile exes and thoughtful explorations of medical ethics, but writer/director/star Julie Delpy brings it all together.

| Nov 9, 2021

My Zoe is a strange, moving picture about how we process grief - or, in some cases, fail to - but it's also a powerful and complex exploration of scientific, emotional, and familial ethics.

The hostility between Isabelle and Richard has to be contained in these challenging circumstances, which only adds to the stress and unhappiness. Delpy handles these scenes with a delicate skill...

| Original Score: 3/5 | Jun 18, 2021

There are horror films and then there are films that dramatise fears too close to home. Julie Delpy's My Zoe falls into the second category.

| Original Score: 3.5/5 | Jun 16, 2021

The talented Julie Delpy misfires as director and star of a clumsy combo of domestic tragedy and sci-fi that comes to a maddening conclusion.

| Original Score: 1.5/4 | Feb 27, 2021

My Zoe dares to lead with its feelings, and that fearlessness provides a striking spectacle itself.

| Original Score: 3/4 | Feb 26, 2021

Delpy writes these characters with such depth, and stages their interactions with such sensitivity, that you understand them without necessarily approving of them.

| Feb 24, 2021

"My Zoe" is well acted and well filmed, yes, but the storytelling, in which Delpy stitches together mismatched parts like a Dr. Frankenstein, is its weak suit.

| Original Score: 2/4 | Feb 24, 2021

Delpy sells it hard with her performance but the supporting cast are unconvincing, and the whole thing is a waste of everyone's time.

| Original Score: 1/5 | Oct 1, 2020

The film moves... into the grandly Promethean, but keeps its place too in the cool European everyday. Combining both is its own experiment, bold and intriguing.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Sep 30, 2020

[Delpy's] risk-taking is admirable, and given the excellent craft, never less than engaging to watch, but it does not always pay off.

It may not stick the landing, but by the time the screen goes black one final time, Delpy has left enough to think about for another three acts.

| Original Score: B | Sep 9, 2019

That Delpy finds her way to the ending she does-and earns it is-no small accomplishment.

| Original Score: B | Sep 9, 2019

Delpy doesn't milk the story for sci-fi creepiness or dystopian thrills; rather, she aims for emotional realism - something that, thanks to her intense lead performance and sleek yet subdued direction, she mostly achieves.
