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

The paradoxical need for a would-be redeemer of humanity to know sin at first hand animates the film all the way down, from Hawke's passionate performance on through to the kinetics of Ferrara and Williams's seedy roving camera.

| Nov 24, 2021

In a sense, this is Ferrara's pandemic quarantine movie. His 'response' is not like any you've seen before.

| Original Score: 3/4 | Nov 19, 2021

This is a movie at which some will shrug and some will love. It's a spiritually probing, deeply personal, stubbornly idiosyncratic work of art. It's an Abel Ferrara film.

| Nov 19, 2021

Feels like diving into a murky river to search for a missing object, fully aware one might never find it but still willing to get wet in its slush for the sake of trying.

| Nov 18, 2021

It stays true to Ferrara's playbook throughout its tidy 86 minutes.

| Original Score: 3/4 | Nov 18, 2021

Utterly baffling, yet never less than intriguing, "Zeros and Ones" lingers in the mind. Even after you think you've brushed it off, its chilly tendrils continue to cling.

| Nov 18, 2021

What Zeros And Ones conveys, in its shoestring terms, is the actual mood of a world of uncertainties.

| Original Score: B- | Nov 17, 2021

Zeros and Ones is the unwelcome spectacle of a bad boy attempting to apologize for his badness.

| Original Score: 1.5/4 | Nov 17, 2021

An obstinately cryptic lockdown experiment that never quite works out what it wants to be or say.

| Sep 16, 2021

Zeros and Ones far more powerfully makes the case that any dawn is far more likely a false one, maybe just the light of exploding Molotov cocktails or a basilica burning on the horizon.

| Original Score: B | Sep 16, 2021

"Zeros and Ones" isn't much of an entertaining sit... but every frame of this weird soup is suffused with the restless creative spirit of someone who's been waiting for a new world order, and recognizes that we only get so many chances to make it happen.

| Original Score: B- | Aug 17, 2021

Ferrara won't be expanding his fan base, but its hunger should be temporarily sated.
