I highly recommend this movie. It’s a truly insane story that’s part Truman Show, part Stanford prison experiment, with an amazing and inspiring 3rd act that I won’t spoil for you.This is the type of movie I finish, then immediately go look up the reviews to see who could’ve had anything negative to say about it. The top critic on RT who rated it “rotten” basically argued that it should’ve tackled more than it did and was a missed opportunity. I hate it SO MUCH when critics crap on a movie that was great at what it was attempting to do, solely because of their own expectations.I try to watch movies, and really experience everything in life, with an open mind and judge it for what it is, not for any notions of what it should’ve been. I think it’s a much healthier path to happiness than being a cynical jerk, but to each their own.
