The film as a whole feels sort of retro as a tawdry cautionary tale.

Lurid and cheesy and sometimes unintentionally funny.
Richard Roeper, Chicago Sun-Times

Another cautionary yarn about a political hopeful whose adulterous behavior catches up with him, Mora Stephens' "Zipper" hits a snag from the get-go.
Michael Rechtshaffen, Los Angeles Times

What "Zipper" lacks in depth it makes up in interesting, morally shaded supporting characters.
Tom Keogh, Seattle Times
Fresh
Mr. Wilson, as dexterous with righteous bravado as with calibrated self-disgust, ably captures Sam's growing enslavement to his impulses.
Andy Webster, New York Times
