This is one insistent film, more evocative of human behavior than movies that take fewer risks ever could be.

A riveting, horrifying film, shot through with beautifully observed moments of unwelcome truth.
Tom Huddleston, Time Out

Compliance is one of the toughest sits of the movie year 2012. But it's an uncompromising and, in its way, honorable drama built upon a prank call that goes on and on, getting worse and worse for the people on the other end of the line.
Michael Phillips, Chicago Tribune

The point of Compliance, which caused walkouts and shouting matches when it premiered at the Sundance Film Festival, is how we are programmed to do things that go against our natural instincts as long as we believe we have the law on our side.
Rene Rodriguez, Miami Herald

There's the adage that life is nasty, brutish and short. It's even worse when you're half-naked and locked in a supply room with your boss.
