Rating: 5.0/5.0

The film is set in an elite boarding school, which brings in progressive teachers. One such guru who is instructing a group of students is Miss Novak (Mia Wasikowska), a leader in “conscious eating.” She instructs her new pupils to apply a special thought process to food, eventually weaning themselves off the eating of larger amounts, which is justified as the food industry contribution to world destruction in our modern era. But the experiment goes too far, and Miss Novak’s rule breaking closeness to a particular male student comes under scrutiny. Will any of the pupils join CLUB ZERO, the elimination of a need to eat?

“Club Zero” is in select theaters since March 16th. See local listings Featuring Mia Wasikowska, Sidse Babett Knudsen, Florence Baker, Samuel D Anderson and Luke Barker. Written and directed by Jennifer Hausner. Not Rated.
