Reception

Matt Zoller Seitz of RogerEbert.com gave the film three out of four stars and wrote, "There's no shortage of films that consider the Holocaust or Israel's founding. But it's rare to see the two subjects intertwined so purposely as in June Zero. The idea to fold it all into an anthology of interconnected short films might be unique."
Greg Nussen of Slant Magazine also gave the film three out of four stars and wrote, "June Zero is a tender, if sometimes cynical, portrait of a new country on old land struggling through the growing pains of establishing its presence both to the international community and its own people."
