Brubaker vurderinger og anmeldelser
- flavo4324. november 2025Brubaker is a powerful and unsettling film, made even more disturbing by the fact that its prison scandal is rooted in real events. The idea that such brutality and corruption could exist within a state institution is horrifying enough—but seeing it brought to life on screen is genuinely gut-wrenching. Robert Redford delivers one of his most compelling performances as Henry Brubaker, a reform-minded warden whose undercover entry into the fictitious Wakefield State Prison exposes cruelty, exploitation, and systemic rot. Redford captures the full emotional spectrum: rage at the injustice, anger at the indifference, a fierce desire for reform, and ultimately the crushing sense of powerlessness that comes with pushing against an entrenched, corrupt system. The film doesn’t rely on sensationalism; instead, it builds its impact through quiet horror and moral clarity, making the audience feel every moment of outrage and frustration. Brubaker remains a sobering, socially conscious drama that still resonates today.
- Mister Arn17. mai 2025The opening third is so brutal that it's easy to root for any change to the prison.
- Gerard20. oktober 2025My absolute favourite Robert Redford movie, truly believable gritty 70’s masterpiece.
- Bob Blanchett21. september 2025A staunch performance of a film about Men, their heights of loyalty and respect and their depths of corruption.
