An atmospheric but disjointed no-budget thriller. The war thriller is pretty underwhelming fare, but its mere existence attests to the tenacity of its creator.

Though ideas abound in the film, they lack a connective tissue... [Full review in Spanish]

Zeros and Ones is difficult to decipher; the film's narrative logic seems to emerge from the music that remains constant from beginning to end. [Full review in Spanish]

| Original Score: 5/10 | Apr 5, 2023

Zeros and Ones isn't just solemn; it is also pompous and vapid. [Full review in Spanish]

| Jun 21, 2022

A pretentious piece of art made by people so in love with their own obfuscation and so convinced of their own genius that they don't care about the audience. That's not thrilling or audacious; it's tedious.

| Original Score: 2/10 | May 10, 2022

In the conventional terms its poster invites, you couldn’t say it’s good. It’s a film of shadows, elisions and interstices, to be watched in the deep dark.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Apr 6, 2022

a prickly, difficult, even impenetrable mash-up of archetypes and ideas, all wrapped up in the nonsensical intrigues of genre cinema while reaching outward towards something bigger beyond.

| Apr 4, 2022

It’s minor work – but there is always something there, some restless wounded intelligence, a pugnacious worrying-away at something.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Mar 2, 2022

Zeros and Ones is a film unlikely to attract new fans. Often dimly lit, and with what appears to be a script under constant development, not everything works.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Feb 12, 2022

The film is an incomprehensible mess.

| Original Score: 1.5/5 | Feb 8, 2022

Zeros and Ones is one dark movie. I don't mean morally dark, or emotionally dark, though it may well be those things too. But it's easily one of the literally darkest films to hit screens since Vin Diesel starred in Pitch Black way back in 2000.

| Original Score: 0/5 | Jan 21, 2022

An arthouse thriller of a sort, it isn't concerned with the niceties of story or characters. It's a kinetic exercise in abstruseness, one that conjures up a feeling of unease but little else.

| Original Score: 1.5/5 | Jan 20, 2022

Ethan Hawke's dual role as twin brothers almost salvages director Ferrara's head-scratching thriller. Almost.

| Jan 17, 2022

Featuring Ethan Hawke in a dual role as twin brothers on opposite sides of a brewing war, Abel Ferrara's new film evokes the paranoia of modern information overload.

| Jan 4, 2022

How did Ethan Hawke ever get mixed up in this mess of a film. You know less when it ends than you did when it started.

| Original Score: 2/10 | Dec 20, 2021

The funny thing is that both the detractors and the defenders of the film will use the same argument: that no one understands its plot. [Full review in Spanish]

| Original Score: 3.5/5 | Dec 14, 2021

Abel Ferrara in his purest form. [Full review in Spanish]

| Dec 6, 2021

The dull and incoherent drama Zeros and Ones is an example of how writer/director Abel Ferrara continues to bury himself so self-indulgently in his garbage films that he dumps out, he no longer seems capable of detecting his own cinematic stink.

| Dec 6, 2021

Deliberately inscrutable covid-era thriller. Not the easiest watch but typically interesting as an Abel Ferrara movie.

| Original Score: 2.5/4 | Nov 26, 2021

It intrigues on a micro level, but those seeking to pull back and wanting more are likely to come away frustrated.

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