Movie Reviews

Flickering Myth - 10/10 by Robert KojderThe scariest part is that viewers vicariously become Dr. Philip Zimbardo, hotly anticipating what happens next before coming to their senses realizing how inhumane this is, how far it has gone, and that it needs to stop
The Playlist - 9/10 by Rodrigo PerezAlvarez’s clinical but deeply engrossing execution of the drama is mesmerizing in its directness.
HitFix - 9/10 by Drew McWeenyUsing real transcripts, and with the involvement of Dr. Philip Zimbardo, who was the psychologist who designed the project in the first place, Talbott and director Kyle Patrick Alvarez have opted to aim for something authentic and honest.
Newcity - 9/10 by Ray PrideOh, the inhumanity. But the wondrously humane performances, including Billy Crudup as Zimbardo, are superlative, including Ezra Miller, Olivia Thirlby, Tye Sheridan, Michael Angarano, Keir Gilchrist and Thomas Mann.
Chicago Sun-Times - 9/10 by Richard RoeperThe Stanford Prison Experiment is the kind of movie that raises as many questions as it answers. It’s also the kind of film where you want to budget some time for discussion afterward. You won’t be able to shake this one off easily.
Vue Weekly (Edmonton, Alberta) - 9/10 by Brian GibsonThe convicts are like actors trapped on a set, their awareness of a line between this-is-just-an-experiment and playing power-games dissolving. Zimbardo comes off as a Faustian fiend; the film itself glitters and glares a bit too simply and devilishly.
Newsday - 9/10 by Rafer GuzmanA riveting re-enaction of the still-notorious study. The young cast is electrifying.
Entertainment Weekly - 9/10 by Devan CogganFortunately, terrific performances from Ezra Miller as "Prisoner 8612" and Michael Angarano as an overlord keep you from hoping for an early release.
Eugene Weekly (OR) - 9/10 by Molly TempletonThe reenactment is ugly and affecting, attention shifting from member to member among the excellent ensemble cast; Tim Talbott's script is streaked with an awareness of privilege that a lesser movie would have neglected.
San Jose Mercury News - 9/10 by Randy MyersFrom start to finish, Alvarez and screenwriter Tim Talbott have the audience in lockdown mode in this claustrophobic nail-biter.
