Our take
Helmed by provocateur Craig Zobel (The Hunt), this controversial film plays like a human experiment. It relentlessly and, at times, sadistically examines irrational impulses to obey authority figures. The documentary-style approach renders this stranger-than-fiction true story chillingly intimate.
