Punch lines and outrage come easy, but beware: If you walk into this film with a secure moral judgment, prepare to have it shaken by the time you leave.
Neva Chonin, San Francisco Chronicle
Overview

Zoo, despite its elegance, teeters on a tightrope; by relying primarily on words from men who seem reluctant to talk much about what happened, it ends up having little to say.
Moira MacDonald, Seattle Times

This experimental-style documentary invokes the waking dreams of David Lynch, Werner Herzog and Errol Morris. It's like a true-crime inquiry undertaken during a total eclipse.
Bill Stamets, Chicago Sun-Times

Devor has an eye; this is clear. If he trades some of the poetry for a little prose next time out, he'll really have something, whatever his subject.
Michael Phillips, Chicago Tribune

Zoo is a cool sensibility married to a hot topic, a poetic film about a forbidden, unsettling subject.
Kenneth Turan, Los Angeles Times
