ChikPapa Very disappointed :(

Connianatu How wonderful it is to see this fine actress carry a film and carry it so beautifully.

Brendon Jones It’s fine. It's literally the definition of a fine movie. You’ve seen it before, you know every beat and outcome before the characters even do. Only question is how much escapism you’re looking for.

Hayleigh Joseph This is ultimately a movie about the very bad things that can happen when we don't address our unease, when we just try to brush it off, whether that's to fit in or to preserve our self-image.

sbryant705 Firstly I have never seen this film, but just looking at the reviews you should think again. This is bestiality folks.Leviticus 18:23 Neither shalt thou lie with any beast to defile thyself therewith: neither shall any woman stand before a beast to lie down thereto: it is confusion.I guess if you are confused and looking for a thrill then go see it.One person said it was "eerily thrilling"- now that is sick. Where have we come when this crap gets made and screened?I just pray that the people who made this movie can find it in their heart to turn from this wickedness and see what a mistake they have made so nothing more of this sort will not be made again.

Emma Nøddespæk K Winona The narrative, from the people's point of view was very touching. The scenery and pictures were beautiful, and often made you forget about the grimness of this freak accident. I did not watch the last 20 minutes or so, because i got interrupted, and did not feel like resume watching this documentary, because of how understated the whole matter seemed to be. I would have liked some more factual things, for it to work as a proper documentary, since i am more used to the "Zeitgeist" part of the documentary-genre. Another thing i sort of missed in this movie, was some guiding - either by some sort of objective narrator or by some more relevant pictures, rather than pictures of woods and a guy on a greyhound bus. However, I really liked this movie for being so visually "clean" and for sticking to the relevant people and places. Another thing that i really liked, was the convincing acting of the "stock-footage" actors, so overall a well-done movie. 5/10 Best Intentions - Emma

leela42 To my mind, Zoo isn't really a documentary. It's an art-opinion piece trying to make a point that peaceful people who aren't harming anyone and love their animals (?) should be left alone. Much of the cinematography is indeed beautiful, but many shots are too dark (in the lack-of-light sense) to appreciate, and most are lingered over far too long. Since the filmmakers use audio-only interviews over goofy scene reenactments to tell what story there is, it's hard to tell what's going on most of the time. Any actual facts are referred to obliquely rather than delineated. I wasn't looking for graphic details, but did hope to learn more about the truth of the situation. This film was little help in that regard, although I did learn a few things about the people involved. This mess does not a documentary make. Bottom line: Don't try to be Errol Morris unless you can pull it off. PS: Some folks think differently; Zoo was nominated for the Grand Jury Prize at Sundance.

Scarecrow-88 Normally the mere mention of bestiality has me immediately heading in the opposite direction. It creeps me out to just think about it. That said, director Robinson Devor's moody photography and use of music makes his documentary, Zoo, stimulating visually and aesthetically despite the provocative subject matter. It's about an air traffic controller whose pals are a small group associating at a farmer's large farm, sharing a dark secret to themselves..each member of this small group of men have affectionate sex with horses! You know, in this day and age, the way people worship and adore their pets, perhaps zoophilia(..a scientific term for people who REALLY love their animals)isn't as shocking as, say, 50 years ago. Devor uses actors in the roles of those certain individuals involved in the case of a man who died of internal bleeding after repeated sex with horses damaged him physically. When news broke out about this, a media storm changed the lives of those who committed these "concensual" acts with horses forever. Through audio interviews, the filmmakers actually allow us to be the judge, giving all those involved an opportunity to express their true feelings. In other words, Devor approaches the subject from all sides, while shooting scenes of the place using actors, richly capturing developed scenarios as they probably happened during the time leading up to the unfortunate demise of a rather melancholy man who found solace with a horse. While I may've been repulsed at the idea that men participated in such acts with horses, I was in awe with how Devor presents the story to us, taking us through what might've happened. Devor goes as far as creating a character for the man who died, his name, "Mr. Hands." Mr. Hands is treated rather enigmatic, with those who knew him even coloring him ambiguously.
