An aspiring actress encounters the darker side of the entertainment industry when she goes in for a screen test.

Critics Consensus

Tape's palpable energy and honorable intentions are often undermined by uneven filmmaking, but it remains an intriguing, rage-fueled rallying cry.

It becomes heavy and clumsy, and I was brokenhearted about it because there's a bleeding, raw anger to this film.

C

"Tape" will inspire conversations - its woefully conceived final sequence literally begs for them - but perhaps not the ones Kampmeier anticipated when crafting a film that, for all its missteps, is built on necessary storytelling.

While "Tape" is admirable in its aims to frankly explore what happens behind closed doors, it's less laudable in its execution.

Tape wants desperately to become a classic film for the #MeToo era, but the movie's dumb ending means that Tape won't even register as a footnote.

3/5

Ultimately, the film is most effective as a warning due to the ordinariness of what it depicts.

3/10

The fact that every moment is coated with a thick smear of pretentiousness - from the tacky, 1990's trip-hop soundtrack to the permeating, suffocating sermonizing / finger-wagging - is perhaps most insufferable.

Overall it was very disturbing and realistic movie, set in a space where it shows how sexual harrasment actually works and who covers whom. It wasn't great, nor is a must watch movie but considering it's based by a true story with a great performance from a main lead you may give it a watch.

Went in with high hopes, unfortunately it's just a really poorly made movie. It has a important message, but is just written/directed so poorly.

A story about issues that need to be told. Unfortunately the directing & screenplay of the film are simply terrible. Feels like a student film, and I mean that in the worse ways
