how does something like this happen?

lemme guess... some competent at job and clueless at everything else managers thought they were doing the most important thing ever in their boring lives by helping the police and were too excited to realize that it was bogus and they had no right to strip search anyone

Seeing this next Friday.

Looks like a rental...at best. Not something I would necessarily enjoy more by purchasing a ticket and sitting in the theater.

jwerk · 07-31-2012, 09:59 PM

Dreama Walker? Yeah, I'll be there

Compliance looks to be a fascinating film, and the positive buzz has me highly anticipating it.

zeze · 08-04-2012, 02:08 AM

Looks interesting. Will see it once it hits blu-ray.

Hucksta G · 08-10-2012, 09:56 AM

Able to get a poll added to this? Saw it tonight.

Britnasty · 08-10-2012, 10:23 AM

So excited to see this. I hope this propels Dreama into Oscar talk

Hucksta G · 08-11-2012, 12:36 AM

Walker and Dowd are both fantastic.

There were six walk outs during the session I went too, and lots of gasps...very disturbing film, even more disturbing that it actually happened.

What was so disturbing?

MikeScott · 08-11-2012, 03:19 AM

I really want to see this. Seems great, even more so because the reviews are fantastic. I love Dreama on Don't Trust The ***** in Apartment 23.

I wish this would have been one of the movies Magnolia also released via on-demand so I could actually see it.

MikeScott · 10-13-2012, 05:11 AM

I'm surprised it's not being released until January. I really want to see it.

One of the most frustrating film's in recent memory. It's hard to believe this actually happened.

*****SPOILERS*****

I was pretty dumbfounded why the girl would go along with things once it got to a certain point, most notably allowing, without much protest, the fiance character to spank her. And then performing oral sex on him. Maybe she felt beaten down, but I wouldn't think she'd be so compliant.

****END SPOILERS****

Ann Dowd is terrific. At first I wouldn't have gone along with her being pushed for Supporting Actress, but she does go missing quite a bit during the second half which makes the case for supporting more easily to accept. I'd say she's more a lead than Dreama Walker, but I don't think considering her supporting is too much of a stretch. Plus, if it gets her nominated then I'm all for putting her in this category. I hope she is nominated.

Despite being difficult to watch at times this was pretty great.

8/10 (A-)

I finally got around to watching this on Netflix tonight. Really a good film. What's craziest for me is that my grandparents lived and owned a store in Mount Washington, KY for decades and my mom was born there.

It's still a fairly small town too. Crazy the real life incident happened there of all places.
