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.

FilmWeek (KPCC - NPR Los Angeles)

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

"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.

Rated: C

Los Angeles Times

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.

Eye for Film

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

Rated: 3/5

Film Threat

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.

Rated: 3/10

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
