Club Zero
Audaciously disturbing....[a] gripping and provocative mind-fuck....harrowingly funny....boundary-smashing....a skillful and daring filmmaker.
-- Owen Gleiberman, Variety
Club Zero
Miss Novak joins the staff of an international boarding school to teach a conscious eating class. She instructs that eating less is healthy. The other teachers are slow to notice what is happening and by the time the distracted parents begin to realise, Club Zero has become a reality.
"A real head-turner of a film." ~ Wendy Ide, Screen
"Riddled with uncomfortable dialogue, audacious sequences, and a piercing score, Club Zero has all the ingredients to become a future cult classic. It’s for a great reason, too. The film contains a terrifying yet wonderful performance from Wasikowska, it includes brilliant commentary on the dangers of following blindly, and it provides great entertainment. The quirky script may not be for everyone, but my best guess is that no matter what you will think of this holistically, something in Club Zero will keep you talking." ~ Patrice Witherspoon, Screen Rant
"[A] stylish, dystopian film that offers an interesting perspective on food and social alignments in contemporary bourgeois society…Quirky and uncomfortable but hard to turn away from, CLUB ZERO is reminiscent of Yorgos Lanthimos’s The Lobster, especially because it has a tone of below-average existence masked in contemporary and forward-thinking superficialities." ~ Sabina Dana Plasse, Film Threat
