Compliance | Ratings & Reviews

"In taut, gripping and deeply disturbing fashion, writer-director Craig Zobel measures the depths to which rational individuals will sink to obey a self-anointed authority figure in 'Compliance'."

VarietyVariety

"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 OutTime Out

"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."

Time MagazineTime Magazine

"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."

The New York TimesThe New York Times

"This is a well-made film, with plausible performances by all the leads, especially Ann Dowd."

Roger EbertRoger Ebert

"That the thriller is based on real incidents only magnifies its effect."

Los Angeles TimesLos Angeles Times

"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."

Hollywood ReporterHollywood Reporter

"The subject matter is unrelentingly sordid yet the storytelling is so deadpan and understated that it's difficult, if not impossible, to dismiss it as exploitation or sexist provocation."
