Even though I always had a lot of respect for Richard Linklater’s work, he has never been of my favorite directors. Still, there is no deying that his latest feature, ‘Boyhood’, was quite amazing and so far the best movie released in 2014. Anyway, another movie directed by Linklater that I really enjoyed was also this one. If I recall it correctly, I even saw it in the movie theater when it ... read more

Based on a three-character, one-act play, Tape is set entirely in Room 19 of a seedy motel in Lansing, Michigan rented by Vince, a ill-tempered, outgoing party animal/drug dealer who's visited by his old high school friend Jon, a documentary filmmaker, where they pass the time reminiscing about the good old times which take a turn when Vince records their conversation with Jon admitting to a possible date-rape of Vince's old girlfriend Amy, who later shows up and opens up a new wave of talk and arguments about whose story is fact or fabricated.

"A one-scene-only movie that moves just as fast as any other movie. The dialogue is snappy and interesting (This is a Linklaker film). The characters and story develops in a smart and believable way."

"Tight and terse dialogue drive the story of Tape, a film about three old high school friends who meet up in a motel room to reminisce about old times. The reunion soon turns to reveal deep secrets with deep consequences that have yet to be settled and threaten not only the ties that bond their friendships, but the future pathway of their lives. "
