4 stars out of 4 -- ZAMA is more than a portrait of the loneliness of the long-distance foreigner. It's the sort of immersive cultural transmission that reminds you just how powerful and transportive this medium can be -- one of those rarities that can momentarily jolt you out of your ways of seeing things.

Rating: 3/5 -- You have to find your own way through Zama, slowed down by the tropical torpor that hangs over the whole film. The pace is languid, the style is cryptic and the mood is downbeat, to say the least. Full Review

Rating: 3/5 -- A film that is haunting, baffling, and frustrating in equal measure. Full Review

Rating: 8/10 -- Filled with situations that mirror the social and racial preconception of the time, this hypnotic tale of punishment and atrocious colonialism is an engrossing experience, likely to be turned into a cult film. Full Review
Film Threat
Jan 9, 2019
[T]he end of the world feels surprisingly nigh in ZAMA -- but if we accept 'colonial dystopia' as a viable atmosphere, it’s hard to imagine any filmmaker conjuring it better than Argentinian master Lucrecia Martel.

Rating: 4/5 -- Languishing in a godforsaken, 18th-century South American colony, pining for his family and desperate beyond measure to be gone, magistrate Don Diego de Zama is in fact going precisely nowhere. Full Review
Nobody's Reading This But Me

Rating: 4/5 -- Almost too well, and certainly too well to let us sit back comfortably, Martel has nailed colonialism as a living death. Full Review
