The story behind the fascinating scientific studies of controversial behavioral researcher Stanley Milgram [Peter Sarsgaard] who, in the early 1960s, masterminded a study of people's willingness to obey orders, even if it means willingly and knowingly hurt. Interesting biographical drama with a documentary character in which Sarsgaard addresses the viewer directly several times to put the dramatized scenes we have seen into context. This helps to emphasize the course of the experiments, including the human emotions, but Sarsgaard's emotionless playing makes it sometimes discouraging.

I had been wanting to see this film for some time, I had already seen the comparable films on more or less the same theme, including das experiment and also compliance.
But here data was collected on a large group in real life and the results were shocking.
Colleagues' reaction to the experiments was also telling, in my opinion they couldn't handle the truth.
The film itself looks a bit boring, but on the other hand, dramatizing the story would only distract from what it's really about.
This film actually shows that man as an individual is weak and easily manipulated when so-called authority puts pressure on you, the past 2 years have once again clearly shown that most people are sheep
who blindly and without skepticism obey the most idiotic measures.
In that respect, this film is just as topical and more important than ever before.
