In EXPERIMENTER an aesthetically and intellectually playful portrait of the social psychologist Stanley Milgram, the director, Michael Almereyda, turns a biopic into a mind game.

Sarsgaard plays him as a man whose intense curiosity precludes any emotional involvement. He’s perfectly willing to shred people’s nerves in order to find out how atrocities like the Holocaust happened.

3.5 stars out of 4 -- The most pleasingly cerebral of recent American films, EXPERIMENTER concerns Dr. Stanley Milgram, the creator of certain enduringly famous experiments in social psychology, which the film starts out by showing us.

Almereyda's direction is nothing short of brilliant here in the way it channels the spirit of Milgram into its own conception. Full Review

Rating: 1/5 -- There are a few feints at considerations of human nature, and a word is spoken in defense of obedience, but the film serves better to start a conversation than to draw a conclusion. Full Review
