I love everything about this, the look and feel -- the LIGHTING

| Original Score: 3.5/4 | Jun 19, 2024

James Vanderbilt's screenplay convinced me to research everything about the real events as soon as the movie finished which is undeniably an impactful effect of watching such a well-written, captivating narrative with well-developed, authentic characters.

have come to believe it to be Fincher’s all-time best; indeed it seems likely that it is the best film about serial killings ever made.

| Original Score: 10/10 | May 11, 2023

Zodiac, ironically, rewards revisiting over and over, while commenting on the spiritual degradation of doing so.

If you feel like watching a truly great film, then dim the lights, turn off the cellphone and tablet and kick back for Zodiac.

| Sep 22, 2022

Like a contagion that festers as easily as it spreads, David Fincher's methodical Zodiac is catching.

| Original Score: 4/4 | Feb 14, 2022

A satisfying hybrid of a journalism yarn, a police procedural, and a serial killer flick.

| Original Score: 3/4 | Nov 16, 2021

More than any American movie of the past decade, Zodiac accepts and embraces irresolvability, which may be why it's so hypnotically rewatchable.

| Oct 4, 2021

Here and there bits bob to the surface, and we and the characters think we may have figured something out, only to have the sheer immensity of detail leave the entire thing ultimately unknowable

| Jul 2, 2021

A chiller, more fatalistic...

| Jun 5, 2021

Carve out three hours for this thinking-person's thriller.

| Feb 25, 2021

David Fincher isn't rubbing the horrors we inflict on each other in the audience's face. Here, it's something more subtle, the creeping fear of I know I'm right...but what do I do now?

From the visual and technical standpoint - yes, it's fantastic. But art has always been about more than just technique, more than the sum of its parts, and that "more" is where Zodiac falls short.

| Original Score: 7/10 | Dec 17, 2020

[Zodiac] has an interesting quality of subverting expectations, quietly stringing the viewer along until suddenly a decade's gone by and you're still trying to fit all the pieces together alongside the characters.

| Dec 8, 2020

A procedural masterwork, unencumbered by action, exploitation, or Hollywood expectations.

| Original Score: 8/10 | Nov 28, 2020

David Fincher takes his time with this frightening crime procedural, that's full of dread and excellent performances. [Full review in Spanish]

| Original Score: 4/5 | Oct 5, 2020

Jake Gyllenhaal powerfully portrays Robert Graysmith, a mild-mannered political cartoonist whose life unravels as his paranoid quest to track down clues....

| May 22, 2020

Fincher presents plausible theories that are not rammed down our throats.

| May 21, 2020

Zodiac is a film that really takes its time, but does a masterful job of showing how these killings didn't just destroy the lives of the victims and their families, but how the case became a burden to almost everyone involved.
