Final Score; 8/10
Not sure what to write about this; in parts I’ve been
yelling at the screen in despair and frustration, and at other times I’ve been left totally
speechless. I guess I need to put the film into some kind of context before I continue.
Compliance is the dramatization of events surrounding a disturbing true-life
case of such galling stupidity that it’s almost impossible to believe that it ever
really happened! Only in America… Now I totally understand why the Transformers
franchise is worth so much. Honestly, after watching the film I was compelled to
look into the story it was based on, convinced that what I’d just seen couldn’t
possibly have happened (even in America), only to find the film had been entirely faithful and accurate to the
source. In a word, staggering.
While not a film anyone will necessarily ‘enjoy’, it’s
well worth a watch. Brilliantly acted, although the faux-documentary style
looks a little shoddy, and is probably a constraint of its meager budget. While the film’s content (humiliation and sexual abuse)
is often difficult to watch, it will be the breath-taking ignorance of all
involved that leaves the biggest and most lingering impression…
