If you enjoy the works of Charlie Kauffman ("Synecdoche, New York") and Richard Linklater (Particularly his dreamlike animated film "Waking Life", which seems to be one of the major influences of this movie) then you will also find a lot to like in "Zoom", being one of the most atypical feature-length film I've seen during the recent years, alternating three parallel story lines where the limits between reality and fiction are not so clear as they might seem on the beginning.I personally liked a lot the art style used on the animated sequences. I found it to be quite elegant and pleasant to look at, with a lovely use of colors.Even if the overall result isn't as memorable as Ari Folman's "The Congress," "Zoom" is still an interesting, cleverly done experience worth of recognition, especially in times like these, where mainstream cinema seems way too afraid to take any kind of risk at the moment of defying the conventional forms of narrative.

The main idea is great: a story telling a story which is telling the first story. But the stories are crap when you look at them one at a time; one is about sex and boobs, the second about sex and a penis, and the third has the least sex, but the most convoluted plot (which actually makes sense in context).The acting, cinematography, and the art style of the drawn sections were good, but not enough to overcome the fact it feels like a porno trying to disguise itself as art. I kept watching hoping for improvement; I should have watched something else entirely.I recommend Stranger Than Fiction (2006) or The NeverEnding Story (1984).Inkheart (2008) and Pixels (2015) are more rewatchable than Zoom.

At the beginning I thought it will be some common B class film. Acting looked not so good (but soon it become clear it was on purpose), decorations also not so great. But it turned out, it is a great film.It is shown various kind of personalities. There are shy girl, geeky co-worker, creepy buyer, charming self respecting film creator and so on. Full pallet of colorful personalities.Soon actions starts jumping from reality to imagination. And later it becomes unclear, what is reality. It turns out, there is closed circle - imagination becomes others persons reality.In short, in is nicely done dementia type film. I very recommend to watch it.

Alison Pil is a hoot.Very creative. Mixing animation with real life and a movie. Took me a minute to wrap my head around it but then I was off on such a wonderful ride.The narrative moves forward quickly but you won't get lost. The music is delightful and energetic, and the doll factory is amazing.The special order guy from Buffalo is definitely creepy, but you'll love him, and you'll really love how changing one story makes changes in the other two at the same time.Definitely an unusual piece of movie making and well worth your time.
