David R @RT65263879 Sep 26, 2025 Disgusting musical that's a mockery of the AIDS epidemic See more Apr 13, 2015 Zero Patience is an avant garde musical about the patient zero urban legend who was rumour to be the person responsible for bring AIDS to North America. The plot was actually not too bad despite being incomprehensible, the numbers were unimpressive, acting was awful. The redeemable element was the enthusiastic performance by John Robinson and the anachronistic production. See more Nov 22, 2012 Zero Patience has very important messages accompanying its intentions. But, its ridiculously out of control pacing and bizarre spectacle obscure the communication between the viewer and the film. The musical numbers seem to be done in spite of throwing them in within five minutes of each other without proper build-up. Additionally, the characters change their motivation so often that it becomes underwhelming. The themes are strong, but the execution is terrible. See more Dec 2, 2011 The film presents plenty of interesting ideas and sides to the origin of AIDS/HIV in North America via Patient Zero and how it's presented. The way that the ideas are presented go from wild and cheesy to harsh and chilling, sometimes within a span of a minute. The shift between the two have a tough time finding balance and sometimes the transition into a song is quite jarring. See more Nov 25, 2010 I don't even know what to say... See more Apr 13, 2010 Not bad at all. The film has a nice, irreverent tone that surprisingly works nicely with its rather grim subject matter. The musical numbers themselves are not hugely inspired though. There's some great production design in one of them (wherein Burton enters a fantasy world of papier mache airplanes and large needles), though overall, the direction of these segments is somewhat flat. That being stated, the music itself is phenomenal. The songs range from hilarious to wonderfully touching. The first song, wherein Zero begs for his story to be told, is fantastic.
