Experimenter movie review: the subject is you
A creepy-cool vibe of constructed cinematic artificiality echoes the illusory nature of Stanley Milgram’s notorious experiment into human behavior.

A creepy-cool vibe of constructed cinematic artificiality echoes the illusory nature of Stanley Milgram’s notorious experiment into human behavior.

Women are all but absent here, and when they do appear, they are little more than aggrieved ex-wives or hookers with hearts of gold.

A compelling character study of two intriguingly flawed people, the sort of richly observed drama that has gotten all but pushed out of mainstream cinema.

Rue Dénoyez in Belleville is a little street packed with fascinating street art.

With its gender-balanced ensemble, this movie is inoffensive, even reasonably fair, in its depiction of women.

Cheap, lazy, and limited by its slavish adherence to the found-footage trope. Bonus: features the most cynical use ever of 3D to boost cinema ticket prices.

American chic in Belleville.

The only significant female character is nothing but a helpmeet and romantic reward for the male protagonist.

If this were Law & Order: Black Magic, which it almost seems like it wants to be, it’d be a helluva lot more interesting than it is.

Women as nothing but emotional support and romantic rewards for men is a tedious, tired, insulting trope. This movie takes it to a deplorable new low.
