Compliance(2012)
Becky and Sandra aren't the best of friends. Sandra is a middle-aged manager at a fast-food restaurant; Becky is a teenaged counter girl who really needs the job. One stressful day (too many customers and too little bacon), a police officer calls, accusing Becky of stealing money from a customer's purse, which she vehemently denies. Sandra, overwhelmed by her managerial responsibilities, complies with the officer's orders to detain Becky. This choice begins a nightmare that tragically blurs the lines between expedience and prudence, legality and reason.

This low-budget picture may not have the most striking cinematography you'll see this year—it takes place almost entirely in a single location, after all—but the picture here is generally sharp and well-graded and presumably true-to-intent. Clarity is consistently strong, revealing fine facial and clothing details, and color is realistic but slightly intensified, with punchy contrast and consistent skin tones. You may notice some of the usual culprits in low-budget digital filmmaking—a few instances of mild aliasing on tight patterns, some blown-out highlights, elevated source noise in darker scenes—but nothing persistent or egregious. Neither is there any obvious noise reduction or edge enhancement. An all-around faithful, good- looking transfer, with no real distractions. Compliance Blu-ray, Audio QualityYou can probably guess that Compliance is very much a dialogue-driven experience, so it should come as no surprise that the focus of the film's lossless DTS-HD Master Audio 5.1 surround track is the clean, clear reproduction of the actors' voices. But that's not all there is to it. The rear channels are used quietly but effectively for ambience—from dining room clatter and clamor to fries in the frier—and there are occasional impressionistic effects, like strange garbled voices emanating from the surround speakers. The most memorable audio aspect of the film, though, is the unsettling cello score by Heather McIntosh, an indie music all-star who was part of the Athens, Georgia-based Elephant Six collective and has since performed with everyone from Cat Power to Gnarls Barkley. I believe this is her first film score, but I imagine she'll be getting a lot of future work based on this haunting piece for chamber strings. For those that may need or want them, the disc includes optional English SDH and Spanish subtitles.
