At an international boarding school, an unassuming, yet rigorous, Miss Novak (Mia Wasikowska) joins the teaching staff to instruct a new class on "conscious eating." Her impressionable teenage students each have their own reasons for joining the class -- to improve fitness, reduce their carbon footprint, or get extra credit. Although early lectures focus on mindful consumption, Miss Novak's discussions soon become increasingly disordered and extreme. A suspicious headmistress, concerned parents and the failing health of her students lead everyone to question the inscrutable Miss Novak's motivations for teaching the class. As a few devoted pupils fall deeper under her cult-like tutelage, they are given a new, even more sinister goal to aspire to -- joining the ominous "Club Zero."

Critics Consensus

With Club Zero, writer-director Jessica Hausner uses satire to explore an array of ambitious ideas, and the results are fitfully striking even if they don't consistently cohere.

Globe and Mail

Hausner is clearly talented, and I’m all for a film without easy answers. But I wish this one was less insistently opaque.

RogerEbert.com

Hausner's new film, "Club Zero," is an intense entry in her exploration of ideas run amok, of fantasy overtaking reality to the degree that reality itself is called into question.

Rated: 3/4

Slant Magazine

No matter where audiences sit on the political spectrum, they’re liable find something discomfiting, if not enraging, in the film.

Rated: 3/4

El Universal

A powerful idea with a tepid conclusion, Club Zero fails to live up to its interesting premise. [Full review in Spanish]

World of Reel

Much like her last film, 2019’s “Little Joe,” the idea behind “Club Zero” is an interesting one, but the execution is incredibly dry. Hausner is a visually talented filmmaker, but her screenplays are subpar.

Rated: C

Film Inquiry

Club Zero is often disturbing and always engaging, but it’s certainly not for everyone.

The music is beyond obnoxious, the premise is laughable, the acting if often atrocious, and what's supposed to be satire doesn't come off at all. This is a monumentally stupid movie. Zero emphatic stars.

Marius K

I absolutely loved it. Such a genial way of sewing actual, disturbing topics together into a scene which I wanted to turn off as well as continue to see. The kind of cliff hanger, both in the sense of the actual story and in that there is no résumé, no sweet taste to make it okay, leaves you with a heavy piece to digest. But I think this digestion could actually evoke some real conversations about the thematics of the movie in our society. ¡¡Certainly important to mention that this movie contains sensitive topics, such like anorexia and mental manipulation. So please keep your mental health in check.!!

Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars

A different kind of horror story - low-key, humorous, where the "monster" is the nutritionist. Well made.
