The thriller Compliance, directed by Craig Zobel, known for Mare of Easttown, will be removed from Netflix next month. Despite its low profile, Compliance is considered one of the most underrated thrillers of the 21st century.
When Compliance first released, it famously caused walkouts among viewers due to its intense, disturbing scenes based on real events. The film explores psychological manipulation and obedience in a disturbing scenario that unsettled many.
"The film's ability to provoke such a strong reaction underscores its powerful storytelling," critics have noted.
Compliance remains a significant, if overlooked, thriller that challenges viewers’ boundaries and provokes deep reflection. Its departure from Netflix will be a loss for audiences seeking intense psychological content.
This thriller’s impact comes from its raw portrayal of manipulation, making it a powerful but divisive film worth watching while available.
