Experimenter (2015)
5/10
OK if you don't know the story
6 January 2016
There is absolutely nothing original about this film. At best it is a mediocre dramatized version of some experiments. It almost makes you wish you watched a BBC documentary about the events instead.

Wynona Ryder is badly cast because you are always expecting her to do something more impressive or more sexy or more...well anything. The pseudo theatrical backdrops and Miligram talking to camera would have been original, maybe a hundred years ago.

In all disappointing. Worse still, I am afraid that people not aware of the work of the real scientist it depicts will not even fully understand his other experiments which are very briefly described in passing.

The proof of the complete lack of structure of this film is the ending of course. There was nothing to go on, the guy wasn't Alan Turing or Jimi Hendrix, nothing dramatic to end with.
