Exam Ratings & Reviews
- flavo43November 23, 2025Exam is one of those small, clever thrillers that keeps you thinking from the moment it starts until the final reveal. It’s not quite a mystery in the traditional sense—there’s no detective, no crime scene—yet it feels like a puzzle you’re desperately trying to solve before the characters do. Set almost entirely in a single room with eight candidates competing for a high-stakes job, the film relies on tension, psychology, and character dynamics rather than flashy action. The writing is sharp enough to keep you engaged without leaving you bored or completely baffled, striking a sweet spot between complexity and accessibility. Every clue, every line of dialogue, and every shifting alliance matters. The stripped-down setting forces you to focus on the personalities and the rules of the test, making the whole experience feel more like an escape-room mind game. Exam proves that tight writing and smart ideas can create suspense just as effectively as big budgets.
- Peter BickfordOctober 29, 2025Good premise, but the execution didn't dazzle. Don't get me wrong: Exam gets a solid B (well, maybe a soft B). But with a little more studying (and a sharper script) it could have made the honor roll.
- Chrome CatJuly 29, 2025Bit of a mind fuck. Some interesting elements come together to keep one guessing at the final outcome. In some regards, also a bit disconnected in other aspects of credible story.
- sailorje6September 10, 2025Mediocre.
- ebicar09May 27, 2025What you see is what you get - if you're not into it immediately it will not grow on you, but if it seems interesting it's worth checking out
- RhythmOctober 25, 2024It keeps you interested, it is good to watch, but it's not going to change your outlook on life or anything like that.
- Daniel GustavssonOctober 12, 2024A little too predictable for my taste. Not really a great resolution either. Not really a whole bunch of gore either. Hmm, why did I give this a 4 again? Well, it was very interesting, and I do like the characters. It kept me on my toes throughout, even if it was somewhat easy to see what the ending would be like. Personally I did not like what the answer was to the question. Anyway, if you like this premise, see it without expecting much. If you don't like these kinds of movies in general, skip it.
