Critic Reviews of "The Stanford Prison Experiment"
Brad Wheeler Globe and MailSeptember 25, 2015The acting is uniformly strong and the camera work is winningly claustrophobic, but the film is one note: scene after scene of bullying.
Richard Roeper Chicago Sun-TimesAugust 14, 2015The 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.
Tom Long Detroit NewsAugust 07, 2015This is not an uplifting movie, and its progress can be grueling. But it has a lot to say about how we let roles define us, how fragile personalities are and how context shapes reality.
Matthew Lickona San Diego ReaderJuly 31, 2015The film works hard to keep up the suspense: how far will the guards go? How much can the prisoners take? At what point, if any, will Zimbardo and his team intervene? And is his experiment scientific? Objective? Humane? Worthwhile?
Molly Eichel Philadelphia InquirerJuly 30, 2015Watching these young men brutalize each other is troubling enough, but perhaps the film's most interesting angle is how the experiment changes more than its subjects.
J. R. Jones Chicago ReaderJuly 30, 2015Billy Crudup gives a fine performance as Dr. Philip Zimbardo, who engineered the whole thing and was then pulled into his own power trip.
Tara Brady Irish TimesAugust 09, 2016Crudup's Zimbardo shifts from ruthlessness to panic, but that shift isn't nearly as marked as what we observe among his subjects.
Sonny Bunch Washington Free BeaconJuly 14, 2016Crudup excels as Zimbardo, casually sliding into the role of evil prison boss so subtly that we almost don't realize what's happening.
Rich Cline Contactmusic.comJune 17, 2016Based on real events, this sharply well-made film shifts from a rather light-hearted comedy into a horrific thriller. And it feels unnervingly natural as it does so.
Alistair Harkness ScotsmanJune 12, 2016Cranking up the tension by gradually moving his camera in closer and closer to his actors, Alvarez smartly shrinks the distance between them and us in order to intensify the what-would-you-do? discomfort the experiment was designed to explore.
David Jenkins Little White LiesJune 10, 2016The film runs out of steam by about the half way mark, where matters of unequivocally passed through the gates of Hell.
