Its heart is in the right place. Its art, unfortunately, is not.

Independent on Sunday
...Imaginatively conceived....The smart-looking ZERO PATIENCE has its heart and mind in the right place...
Los Angeles Times
Rating: 3/5 --
Amid the farce there are moments of lucidity and informative dialog that's both telling and historically important.

Shadows on the Wall
...Greyson's style is visually alive...
Chicago Sun-Times
...Audacious....Bubbles with so many ideas that it has the feel of several movies compressed into an unwieldy if stimulating Brechtian revue...
New York Times
...The film achieves a rare resonance....Graceful and surprising...

Product Description:
Experimental Canadian director John Greyson helms ZERO PATIENCE, a combination of musical, docudrama, and fantasy that explores issues in gay and HIV politics. Sir Richard Burton, the Victorian adventurer and scholar, has survived to the modern day due to his secret discovery of the fountain of youth. While working for the Toronto Natural History Museum, Burton plans an exhibit on the origins of HIV in Canadian society. Fearing vilification, the ghost of Patient Zero, a French Canadian accused of being the first to bring the virus to North America, appears to Burton and forces him to rethink his positions and the display. From this unlikely premise begins an exploration of the politics of HIV-AIDS, complete with unique and ribald musical numbers and fantasy sequences.
