In a rundown area of Buenos Aires, Argentina, at the dawn of the 1980s, Adrian LeDuc owns both a struggling movie theater and a shabby apartment building filled with eccentric, squabbling tenants; his institutionalized mother adds further pressure. To make ends meet, Adrian takes in a roommate, Jack Carney, but soon begins to suspect that the quiet American is responsible for a series of political assassinations that are rocking the city.

What to Know

Critics Consensus

Despite some underserved and overwrought thematic elements, Apartment Zero emerges as a compellingly eerie thriller with strong lead performances and a stylish, neo-noir mood.

Peter Rainer Los Angeles Times Feb 9, 2015

2/5

2.5/4
Donovan is a born filmmaker in his own right. With a good script he might establish himself next time out as an important director. Apartment Zero is the work of a genuinely eccentric mind. Go to Full Review
Michael Bronski Gay Community News (Boston) Aug 16, 2022
A calculated attempt to combine the sensibility of the Hollywood psycho-noir with an honest examination of sexual desire’s connection with imagination and movies Go to Full Review
