2/5

Zebra Girl's quirky comedy is not quite distinctive enough, and the script lurches iffily into serious issues of child abuse and mental illness in the second half.

Ultimately, Zebra Girl does have some pertinent themes but is hampered by a messy narrative that begs more questions than it answers. Despite its failings, the film manages to be generally engaging if eventually dubious.

1/5

After a soup of disappointing stabs at comedy and a laughably overwrought, ominous musical score, the movie rather limps to its closing credits.

3/5

Some might cavil at the arguably lurid portrayal of mental illness, but the film shows consistent sympathy for its embattled protagonist as events slip out of her.

Though the story is not a pleasant one, Roy's chilling performance gets under your skin, is forceful and stands out.

4/5

Adapted by Derek Ahonen from his play, this blackly comical horror is given a wonderfully cinematic zing by inventive director Stephanie Zari... A superb trip into an addled mind.

I usually like comedy / horror movies and even though this one had a solid background story I didn't enjoy it much, partly because I didn't like the cast and it wasn't very fun.
