First time feature writer/director Talya Lavie impressively creates a witty and tangible dramedy about working women hampered by their own stagnation.

| Original Score: B+ | Sep 2, 2017

A delightful, sharp dramedy that skewers the topic from every angle imaginable.

| Original Score: 3.5/4 | Feb 27, 2015

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.

| Jan 15, 2015

The office comedy is weak. The gross-out gags are too safe. A covert lesbian crush is underused.

| Original Score: 2/4 | Jan 7, 2015

There's method in the madness, but little of it elsewhere in "Zero Motivation."

| Original Score: 3.5/5 | Dec 18, 2014

An engaging, desert-dry, feminist-minded comedy ...

| Dec 12, 2014

To the panoply of films that explore the banality and inanity of army life, here's a worthy addition told from a refreshing perspective: that of young women conscripts in the Israel Defence Forces.

| Original Score: 3.5/4 | Dec 11, 2014

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.

Full Review | Original Score: 3/4 | Dec 11, 2014

It is much like the first season of a 온라인카지노추천 series that has gotten off to a slow start.

| Original Score: 2/4 | Dec 11, 2014

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.

| Dec 11, 2014

Percolates at a low boil for 100 minutes, neither dull nor particularly compelling.

| Original Score: 2/4 | Dec 11, 2014

Zero Motivation is what you would get if the Coen brothers directed an episode of Broad City in Israel.

| Dec 8, 2014

The elevator pitch "Girls meets M*A*S*H" may seem a tad reductive, but it's apt. The angst is the same though the specifics, and urgency, has changed.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Dec 5, 2014

Melancholy climactic trajectory aside, Zero Motivation is primarily very funny, thanks both to its game cast and Lavie's flair for unexpected gags ...

| Original Score: B | Dec 3, 2014

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.

| Original Score: 3.5/4 | Dec 3, 2014

As [Ms. Lavie] moves her characters from situation to situation ... it becomes evident that she had some ideas for a movie, if not enough.

| Dec 2, 2014

Zero Motivation proves something more than a piercing army/office comedy.

| Dec 2, 2014

Tayla Lavie's film misses the prime opportunity to remark on the triviality of war.

| Original Score: 2.5/4 | Apr 23, 2014
