Film Review – Compliance

Sure to raise pulse rates and incite shockwaves of disbelief,
“Compliance” is an exceptional example of provocative filmmaking, taking
viewers on a 90-minute-long journey of humiliation, manipulation, and
good old fashioned stupidity. It’s a riveting watch, with a stranglehold
of suspense expertly maintained by writer/director Craig Zobel, who
accepts the challenge of adapting a true crime situation without pumping
the plot full of fiction, holding to the innate horror of the central
violation while subtly shifting the ground beneath the viewer’s feet.
Bravely uncomfortable and sure to inspire heated post-movie (and likely
mid-movie) conversation, “Compliance” is haunting, positively enraging
when it sinks in that this was no nightmare, but a reality. Read the rest at Blu-ray.com
