Time Out You can't believe what you're watching: 'Compliance', true to its title, digs into the rarely explored subject of psychological acquiescence behavioural scientist Stanley Milgram should get a co-writing credit , with common-sense dignity being the first casualty.
Time Magazine If this riveting, repelling film is to be seen, it must be not at home but in a theater, where you are confined in a room, like Sandra and Becky, deciding whether to watch, and how you would react. The New York Times Snapshots of greasy fries and slimy grills pump up the unsavory atmosphere, while Heather McIntosh's ominous, cello-driven score plucks our nerves and stirs our stomachs.
Roger Ebert This is a well-made film, with plausible performances by all the leads, especially Ann Dowd. Los Angeles Times That the thriller is based on real incidents only magnifies its effect. Hollywood Reporter Likely to spur discussions about workplace safety, employee rights and broader awareness of sexual predation, 'Compliance' is also a suspenseful psychological drama for viewers prepared to tolerate its extremes.

User reviews Review. Top review. Unpleasant to watch but important. I saw this today at the Traverse City Film Festival. I do not disagree that the movie is difficult to watch, but I think you can hardly review a movie where you walked out without seeing the entire film. This film makes an important and real point It also has two characters who say in one way or another "No, I will not do this.
One would like to be able to say "No one could be so stupid" but the fact that this type of event involving, reportedly, even more degrading assaultive behavior than portrayed in this film has happened repeatedly in this country over 70, according to the closing credits shows that wish to be untrue.
I hope every young person will view this film and be brave enough to refuse any authority figure who makes demands on them which seem to go beyond the bounds of the law and good sense. And don't ever talk to a law officer in detail without your attorney being present and no, I am not a lawyer. Details Edit. Release date September 26, France. United States. Official site.
