There are a few feints at considerations of human nature, and a word is spoken in defense of obedience, but the film serves better to start a conversation than to draw a conclusion. October 22, 2015 | Rating: 1/5 | Full Review…

"Experimenter's" most striking quality is the way it encourages us to think deeply, from the first frame to the last, even if it's just to consider what on Earth an elephant is doing on screen. October 22, 2015 | Rating: 3.5/4 | Full Review…

It's a strange, unsettling, but almost playful experience watching Sarsgaard watch us. It's this mischievousness that makes the film, one of the more unique, oddly entertaining things you'll find at the cinema this fall. February 28, 2019 | Rating: 7.5/10 | Full Review…

The film works better when crafting its own experiments in social embarrassment, such as the scene where Milgram argues about his work with an Abe Lincoln impersonator, as opposed to the stuffy book report that dominates the final hour. February 5, 2019 | Rating: 2.5/5 | Full Review…
