In 1961, social psychologist Stanley Milgram conducted the “obedience experiments” at Yale University. The experiments observed the responses of ordinary people asked to send harmful electrical shocks to a stranger. Despite pleadings from the person they were shocking, 65 percent of subjects obeyed commands from a lab-coated authority figure to deliver potentially fatal currents. With Adolf Eichmann’s trial airing in living rooms across America, Milgram’s Kafkaesque results hit a nerve, and he was accused of being a deceptive, manipulative monster. EXPERIMENTER invites us inside Milgram’s whirring mind, beginning with his obedience research and wending a path to uncover how inner obsessions and the times in which he lived shaped a parade of human behavior inquiries.

“Experimenter‘s most striking quality is the way it encourages us to think deeply, from the first frame to the last…” -Stephanie Merry, Washington Post

“Fascinating work by Michael Almereyda, a mix of audacious artifice, ruminations and reality.” -John Anderson, Newsday

“Seemingly loose and free-associative in style, Experimenter builds to an effect and, for all its humor — or rather, through its humor — makes a sober and chilling point.” -Mick LaSalle, San Francisco Chronicle

In 2004, Mary Mapes (Cate Blanchett), an award-winning CBS News journalist and Dan Rather’s producer, uncovered that a sitting US president may have been AWOL from the United States National Guard for over a year during the Vietnam War. When the story blew up in their face, the ensuing scandal ruined Dan Rather’s career, nearly changed a US Presidential election, and almost took down all of CBS News in the process.

“A new entry among the pantheon of great journalism movies. Blanchett is electrifying.” – Rafer Guzman, Newsday

“As Mapes, Blanchett burns on a high flame, and Redford finds the wounded dignity in Rather.” -Peter Travers, Rolling Stone

“More than most docudramas about fairly recent events, it is so well written and acted that it conveys a convincing illusion of veracity.” -Stephen Holden, New York Times

In 1970s South Boston, FBI Agent John Connolly (Joel Edgerton) persuades Irish mobster James “Whitey” Bulger (Johnny Depp) to collaborate with the FBI and eliminate a common enemy: the Italian mob. The drama tells the story of this unholy alliance, which spiraled out of control, allowing Whitey to evade law enforcement, consolidate power, and become one of the most ruthless and powerful gangsters in Boston history.

“Johnny Depp does career-best work as notorious Boston gangster James ‘Whitey’ Bulger in Scott Cooper’s taut, elegantly understated crime drama.” -Scott Foundas, Variety

“It’s one of those movies that you don’t exactly enjoy (so many guns, so many deaths), but you appreciate for its craft and tension, and for its cast’s willingness to lose themselves in the darkness.” -Moira MacDonald, Seattle Times

“It’s a very good film about a very bad man.” -Chris Nashawaty, Entertainment Weekly

In the heat of the summer. A lonesome house in the countryside between woods and corn fields. Nine-year-old twin brothers are waiting for their mother. When she comes home, bandaged after cosmetic surgery, nothing is like before. The children start to doubt that this woman is actually their mother. It emerges an existential struggle for identity and fundamental trust.

“So intense and harrowing that it probably should have a warning label.” -Walter V. Addiego, San Fransisco Chronicle

“This insidious tale of a mother-son bond gone haywire is squirm-inducing stuff. It has cult potential stamped all over it.” -David Rooney, Hollywood Reporter

“A masterful example of genre filmmaking’s ability to transcend its limitations, leaving a viewer not just frightened, but also changed.” -Michael O’Sullivan, Washington Post

“Beginning with a gentle lullaby and ending with a tightly packed wallop, Goodnight Mommy is one viscerally chilling, seriously unsettling horror film.” -Michael Rechtshaffen, Los Angeles Times
