To say the least, "Zenith" is challenging and elusive; it evokes a bleak view of the human condition and a sense that pervasive paranoia might well be justified.

Kevin Thomas, Los Angeles Times

For traditionalists who prefer their movies unfettered and non-interactive, "Zenith'' happens to be pretty good, though it's longer on style and atmosphere than clarity of storytelling.

Loren King, Boston Globe
Rotten

While Zenith is fascinating to contemplate as a concept, it doesn't fully work as a piece of entertainment-at least not in 90-minute-movie form.

Noel Murray, AV Club
Rotten

This bewildering collision of noir narration and purple paranoia may be long on atmosphere but is woefully short on sense.

Jeannette Catsoulis, New York Times
Fresh

Smoothly incorporating influences as diverse as Philip K. Dick and Terry Gilliam, Zenith commands attention and builds suspense by taking inventive detours through familiar territory.

Joe Leydon, Variety
