Craig Zobel’s Compliance is a deeply disturbing, yet masterfully crafted tale, based on true events. It’s not a film for everyone, and it’s a difficult film to watch and to write about. That being said, it’s a wonderfully shot, riveting, nail-biter of a film that will leave you yelling at the screen and wanting it all to be over. It’s one of the few instances where the term “Inspired by true events,” is not only a true statement, but reinforces the events of the film.

Beasts of the Southern Wild is a hard film to explain to someone who hasn’t seen it, and an even harder film to describe in a written review. It’s a film that hits every note, and is an amazing achievement for first time director Benh Zeitlin. It is a triumph, and should be considered nothing short of a masterpiece.
