Based on a true story, this fascinating and mortifying glimpse at how readily and illogically people will submit to authority will chill to the bone. On a busy and stressful day at a fast-food restaurant, a police officer calls, accusing an employee of stealing money from a customer's purse, which she vehemently denies. Overwhelmed by her responsibilities, the manager complies with the officer's orders. This choice begins a nightmare that tragically blurs the lines between expedience and prudence, legality and reason.

"A riveting, horrifying film, shot through with beautifully observed moments of unwelcome truth." Time Out

"Compliance is torture to sit through. It's also indispensable film making. This fact-based movie is going to present you with questions that will haunt you long after you leave the theatre." Rolling Stone

"Snapshots of greasy fries and slimy grills pump up the unsavoury atmosphere, while Heather McIntosh's ominous, cello-driven score plucks our nerves and stirs our stomachs." The New York Times
