Experimenter
Yale University, 1961. Stanley Milgram designs a defining psychology experiment in which participants believe they are delivering painful electric shocks to an affable stranger strapped into a chair in another room. Despite the victim's pleas for mercy, the majority refuse to stop, administering what they believe to be a near-fatal shock simply because an authority figure instructs them to do so. With Adolf Eichmann's trial playing across American living rooms, Milgram's inquiry jolts both popular culture and the scientific community, revealing a troubling propensity to obey authority. Though celebrated by some, he is accused by others of deception and manipulation, yet his wife Sasha remains unwaveringly by his side through it all.

> A tale of the man who gave a breakthrough in the human psychology. A movie about the experiments on the human behaviour and for us, there's nothing in it but to study those characters along. This is more a documentary than the cheerful characters and the story with a twist. So forget it if you are looking for an entertainment film. Based on the true story of an American social psychologist Stanley Milgram. The film narrates the story of his controversial experiments and personal life that takes us back to the 60s. Not all the discoveries were accepted in its first revelation. Sometimes it takes time to realise its benefits like perhaps this one. The film was boring because it was a drama about an important turning point in the human psychology. So all the major parts of the story were just talking and it never required physical stretch from its characters like running and chasing around. If you're interested in psychology and its related stuffs, then you might like it. Besides, the romance was a small part of what the film was focused on as its title mentioned. It does not mean I dislike it for not enjoying. In fact, I would have rated it better only if it was a documentary film. But still I'm happy with the product. Overall a decent film with the decent performances. 6/10
