Reviews
The screenplay features nothing but talk, but this is one of the most tightly wound films of the year.
'It turns out that Ethan Hawke can act after all. Who knew?'
Engrossing and dynamic viewing thanks to convincing dialogue and lively acting, most notably from Hawke.
Though I admired the idea behind the film, the execution, and the performances, the material doesn't seem to add up to anything.
Linklater is testing the boundaries of what can be done with digital video, thematically as well as visually.
Tape brilliantly mixes sex, lies, and videotape-esque quirks with some supreme mental fornicative twists to produce an engaging chunk of film.
Unlike some other filmed plays, this one contains dialogue that sounds realistic.
The actors show great chemistry, reveling in the dialogue as they inspire each other to greater heights.
