Critics Reviews

Rachel Syme New Yorker "Z" is Zelda's life run through a gif-converter, a Pinterest-ready show that focusses on beautiful ermine stoles and spot-on nineteen-twenties cupid's-bow lipstick instead of its central figure's essential contradictions. May 10, 2019 Full Review Inkoo Kang MTV The show is nearly as dull or cringe-inducing as it is engaging and insightful. Jan 30, 2017 Full Review Liz Shannon Miller indieWire Zelda was a complicated woman, and Ricci definitely has the chops to play that. But the show never really lets her breathe into that realness. Rated: B- Jan 30, 2017 Full Review Lea Palmieri Decider Ricci hasn't been this bubbly and fun in a role since she was a teenager, and as Zelda, she's the kind of woman you'd want to hang around. May 10, 2019 Full Review Brock Wilbur Nerdist This great cast... gives us a lot of hope that the full series run will be the exactly right kind of kick-ass feminist protagonist journey that 2017 so desperately needs right now. Rated: 4.5/5 May 10, 2019 Full Review Dominic Patten Deadline Hollywood Daily While Christina Ricci does admirably and fearlessly inhabit the role of the creative and sometimes crazed Zelda Fitzgerald, this well-lubricated story of the beautiful and the damned just skips along the surface.
