thiago s @Thiagostone Aug 13, 2025 Filme fraco, o roteiro é fraco, as cenas são fracas, a história é fraca, o elenco é fraco, e ninguém ajuda a melhorar o filme, os personagens são fracos, e o filme deveria ter cenas bem melhores e relevantes, para fazer o filme ser bom See more

Mason M @RT73597940 May 6, 2025 Tape is a wonderful addition to Richard Linklater's filmography, it being one of his only thriller films. But it was still great seeing him use his skills and styles to make one of his both most unique and fully Linklater films. Even though it all takes place in one room, Tape never fails to keep me entertained by the riveting dialogue and plot. It's amazingly written, and puts as much plot and character as it can into one room. The two leads also do a great job playing their respective parts in a believable manner. Many could criticize the film for its bad digital video quality, but I loved it. I love the look of this era's digital video, and the small camera allows for a loose and more realistic feeling to this film, and some of Linklater's most interesting cinematography. Tape may not measure up to Linklater's masterpieces, but it's still a very strong film and a great watch for any Linklater fans. See more

Ęxçëşș M @ExcessMale May 14, 2022 99% of the budget went to the three actors. Linklater is clearly a very capable filmmaker but he (and his performers) strain their abilities here and the end result is certainly not stellar. See more

Dec 29, 2019 One could I guess call this a very well crafted example of the "Dogma" style. It touches (among others) upon a delicate issue -that of sexual misconduct and its consequences- with great intelligence and elaboration, bringing to light the often oversimplified or ignored complexities of certain experiences in which even the meaning of the word "consent" becomes problematic, and in which the defense of the victims is finally another mask of selfish interests or unrelated frustrations. The acting is very intense and full of emotions. The atmosphere is that of a good theater play. Very recommended. See more

Oct 22, 2018 Tape is a good "movie in a single location" movie which focuses on dialogue to hold our sway. It's filmed in real time and the acting is solid from all involved- Ethan Hawke especially. Many critics have compared it to a play and it feels so. Richard Linklater is both an auteur and a risk taker- similar to Steven Soderberg and this is another film where he showcases his talent.
