Review of Experimenter (2015) by Matt C — 20 Nov 2018

I remember studying Milgram and his obedience experiments many years ago in Psychology and I found the whole concept fascinating. Unfortunately that is basically the beginning, the middle and the end of the premise of this film.

There just isn't a story there really and in Sarsgaard you've got a lead actor who is woefully ill-equipped to single-handedly carry that concept. It's not a bad film, it's just very forgettable and no amount of Directorial tricks (and there are a lot of them) are going to change that.
