Top Critics Reviews

fresh:
It is a great film for many reasons, not the least of which is that it can be enjoyed as a political thriller as well as a political statement.
– Gene Siskel,

fresh:
It's hard to overstate the impact that this Oscar-winning procedural thriller had in 1969, on a world roiling in political activism, repression, and discord.

fresh:
Z, whose title is a stand-in for the Greek word zei ('he lives'), takes us back to where that fascination all began for Costa-Gavras and shows us that, for the rest of us, it hasn't ever really ended.
– Michael O'Sullivan,
Washington Post,

fresh:
In its slick cinematic urgency and its outrage, Z still has the power to shake you up.
– Ty Burr,
Boston Globe,

fresh:
Z combines the intellectual heft of revolution-themed films like The Battle of Algiers with the drop-dead cool of mod touchstones like Blow Out or Le Samourai.
