December 1, 2010This was better than I expected. Hardly great, but I enjoyed it a lot. I can't say I've seen a movie that deals with changing genders in quite this way before. It's not a gay film, it's mostly hetero sex, but one that explores sexuality in a slightly different way. Basically, lov... read more

January 28, 2011I'm not aware of any other movie like this one. Unique concept of shape shifting and gender identity that was quite goofy at times, but also kept surprising me.

October 30, 2007[font=Century Gothic]"Zerophilia" starts with Luke(Taylor Handley) losing his virginity to an older woman(Kelly LeBrock) on a camping trip. As possible compensation for his manhood possibly shrinking afterwards, he buys an 18-wheeler and brings it to Max(Kyle Schmid) to have it ... read more

May 23, 2012A loopy yet subtle comedy with an awesome, strange conceit (kind of like eXistenZ on Quaaludes). Although the male-female/gay-straight mix-'em-ups can sometimes be broad or indulgent -- especially in the off-kilter, American Pie-esque beginning -- the overall drama, examining con... read more

May 14, 2011A very strange movie, yet somehow sweet. There is nothing like a sappy, happy ending to make things better.

November 1, 2009What a delightfully original film. The cast does a good job, lively score. It?s funny, touching and thought provoking. The writing is very sensitive, witty and clever, and I was always interesting in the film. Thoroughly enjoyable.

May 30, 2008A totally bizarre romantic comedy. Highly original! I noticed this one on the shelf and after reading the synopsis I knew I had to see it - for better or worse. The plot sounded wacky! Much to my surprise, the film was well executed. It also had a distinctive style of humor ... read more

J. R. Jones, Chicago Reader
The script's lazy convenience is embodied by a beautiful neuromorphologist (Gina Bellman) who arrives on the scene to explain everything that's going on. Full Review

Bill Stamets, Chicago Sun-Times
Boasts a fertile premise but a sterile outcome. Full Review

Michael Phillips, Chicago Tribune
A half-silly, half-earnest indie with the soul of a John Hughes-era sex comedy. Full Review
October 17, 2006
Michael Rechtshaffen, Hollywood Reporter
The admittedly thought-provoking results fail to make the full-blown transition from curious concept to substantial theatrical proposition.

V.A. Musetto, New York Post
There's plenty of material here for a dark comedy, but director Martin Curland isn't up to the job.
October 13, 2006
Jack Mathews, New York Daily News
Audacious, slightly predictable, semi-disgusting, ultimately not-so-crazy. Full Review

Jeannette Catsoulis, New York Times
Androgyny rules in Zerophilia, Martin Curland's audacious feature about a fictional chromosomal abnormality that wreaks havoc with one's genitals.

John Anderson, Newsday
Offers a few salient notions about the nature of human sexuality, but matters are ultimately stretched further than a sumo wrestler's bra strap. Full Review

Tim Grierson, Village Voice
A case of provocative issues at the mercy of unskilled execution. Full Review
