Sitges 2015: Review of 'Experimenter'

Experimenter

Difficult to connect with this new film by Michael Almereyda called 'Experimenter' as is the case with many of his works.

His adaptations of 'Hamlet' or 'Cymbeline', both works by William Shakespeare, are a clear example that the public is divided when it comes to assessing this director, although it seems that the detractors are many more than the fans.

In this case it is not a failed film because it is a strange adaptation of a classic, but rather because it is a film that leads nowhere, basically this biopic about the Stanley Milgram, who carried out social experiments to decipher the secrets of human behavior, is nothing more than a documentary narrated with the tools of fiction.

'Experimenter' tells us the life of this man which is interesting enough, in fact what is interesting are his social experiments since his life is not worthy of a film either, so that the tape is not entirely soporific.

In conclusion, the only thing that can be rescued from the tape are Stanley Milgram's own experiments, as well as discovering that Winona Ryder keeps working, this time in a role that is not at all remarkable.

Rating: 3 / 10
