Matt Roush of '' TV Guide '' called '' Return to Zero '' , " A delicately etched and intimately powerful portrait of grief and bitter loss . Return to Zero stars a fearless Minnie Driver and the ever-affable Paul Adelstein as a couple rocked to their emotional core by the loss of their unborn child , discovered to have died in the womb shortly before the delivery date . We follow them through the wrenching procedure and recovery process with a stark realism in which husband and wife are often seen at their worst , as their once-solid relationship frays when Maggie plummets into depression and neither seem able to say or do the right things to be able to heal and move on . Though sometimes hard to watch , Zero is a compelling and beautifully acted character study that will make you care as it dramatizes a domestic tragedy with a minimum of melodrama , so rare for TV and TV-movies . " Robert Bianco of '' USA Today '' wrote , " Minnie Driver and Paul Adelstein give first-rate performances in this lovely , moving film about a couple whose marriage falters when their baby is stillborn … It 's a subject worthy of education and one that seldom gets dealt with on television . " Brian Lowry of '' Variety '' called '' Return to Zero '' " a painful portrait of devastating loss , pivoting on a performance by Minnie Driver that acutely captures those raw feelings . " He also wrote , " Hanish deftly zeroes in on how all the preparation and enthusiasm surrounding a new baby magnifies the enormity of the parents ’ pain here — as well as the different ways people cope , or do n’t , with such events . " Minnie Driver was nominated for the award for Best Actress in a Movie or Miniseries at the 4th Critics ' Choice Television Awards ( the award was won by Jessica Lange for '' American Horror Story : Coven '' ) and for the Primetime Emmy Award for Outstanding Lead Actress in a Miniseries or a Movie
