Entertainment Reviews:
Rating: 3.5/4 --
The Stanford Prison Experiment is the kind of movie that raises as many questions as it answers. It's also the kind of film where you want to budget some time for discussion afterward. You won't be able to shake this one off easily.
Chicago Sun-Times
Rating: B --
This is not an uplifting movie, and its progress can be grueling. But it has a lot to say about how we let roles define us, how fragile personalities are and how context shapes reality.

[Alvarez] does an excellent job encapsulating the intense, dehumanizing, and claustrophobic nature of the experiment. [July 10, 2018]

Dr. Filmlove's Film Reviews and Ratings
A gripping dramatization, THE STANFORD PRISON EXPERIMENT puts its audience in the same position as the head researcher, Dr. Philip Zimbardo...
A.V. Club
[T]he movie features impressive performances from a handful of this generation’s most promising stars, and serves as an uncannily timely reminder about structures, systems, the abuse of power and the fragility of identity.
Washington Post
Rating: 3/4 --
Watching these young men brutalize each other is troubling enough, but perhaps the film's most interesting angle is how the experiment changes more than its subjects.

Much of what happens during THE STANDFORD PRISON EXPERIMENT seems just too unbelievable to be true. Sadly, and fascinatingly, director Kyle Patrick Alvarez's film depicts the real events of a 1971 study on authority and situational behavior...

Product Description:
Kyle Patrick Alvarez's drama THE STANFORD PRISON EXPERIMENT is based on real events. Dr. Philip Zimbardo (Billy Cruddup) arranges for 24 volunteers to be either guards or inmates a makeshift prison system so that he can observe how their behavior changes. Eventually those playing guards become abusive and dictatorial, while the inmates band together to survive the harsh conditions. What the Stanford professor doesn't expect is that he and the people running the experiment are also being transformed by taking part in it. THE STANFORD PRISON EXPERIMENT screened at the 2015 Sundance Film Festival.
