Tape is a 2020 American thriller drama film written and directed by Deborah Kampmeier and starring Isabelle Fuhrman, Tarek Bishara and Annarosa Mudd.[5]
Plot
A male director interviews a vulnerable young actress and seems to offer her help to get ahead in the industry, but his motivation is far from altruistic.
Owen Gleiberman of Variety gave the film a positive review and wrote, "Yet even as the film feels up-to-the-minute, it’s been made with a certain threadbare, streets-of-New-York punk feminist mythologizing that may remind you, at times, of the films of Beth B."[1]
Frank Scheck of The Hollywood Reporter also gave the film a positive review and wrote, "A hard-hitting psychological drama about an actress who surreptitiously monitors her former assailant and his current prospective victim, Tape benefits from its well-executed thriller mechanics and terrific performances by its three leads."[3]
Jeannette Catsoulis of The New York Times gave the film a negative review and wrote, "Tape, in short, is a terrible movie about appalling behavior."[2]
Kimber Meyers of the Los Angeles Times also gave the film a negative review and wrote, "But while Tape is admirable in its aims to frankly explore what happens behind closed doors, it’s less laudable in its execution."[4]
