Is this movie worth seeing just for Olivia Thirlby?


I'm a big fan of hers, but is she featured prominently enough in this movie that I should see it just to see her performance in it?

She doesn't have a large role, but she does play an important part in the story. She's very good with what she is given. It's truly a great ensemble.

I say, why not? See it for her and you'll probably like the film. It's good.

This movie is not worth seeing for any of the cast. Big waste of a talented young cast.

If you are looking at this movie as a movie, fictional story, well maybe you wouldn't like the plot. It is from beginning to the based on true story.

But if you think just a bit of a power of the real experiment, real psychological drama inside, amazing message that it is carrying, perfect roles of the "students" - prisoners and guards, and after that the social implications that are happening today, the movie is basically a masterpiece. Nothing more, nothing less.

About Olivia - others already response, she has a supporting role. But she is a cutie ;)

It might not be big but her role is big important. I liked the movie. I've seen the original documentary about the prison experiment and it's pretty damn close

She is beautiful in this film. She's not onscreen for a ton of time, though her role is important.

This movie is worth seeing full stop. That you are a big fan of Olivia and get to see her cameo too, is a bonus :-)

why would anyone watch a movie just for her? she's not super talented or beautiful, just a regular actress with a regular face...

watch this for the whole thing and maybe you'll even like the movie!

reply

Why would anyone watch a movie simply because of the looks of an actor? Beats me...
