Caged is most effective when it's focused on Harlow's paranoiac certainty that nobody on the outside of his cell cares for, or even really sees what he's going through. Go to Full Review Mathew DeKinder Mat's Entertainment 08/21/2021

"Caged" is really only worth your time if you want to experience how much solitary confinement sucks. If that is a conclusion you've already come to in life, feel free to skip it. Go to Full Review Benjamin Gummery Indie Mac User 07/28/2021

It's disorienting by design, and should lend feeling to a bigger conversation of true justice for people of color and the inhumanity of solitary confinement. Go to Full Review Federico Furzan Movie-Blogger.com 07/19/2021

03/20/2021 Good movie, good plot See more 02/01/2021 I was confused about what type of movie it was supposed to be. The plot is just a guy stuck in a cell and tortured by a bitter woman. Complete waste of time. It didn't even end with a conclusion. See more 01/30/2021 A rather boring film that kept me on screen due to the fact that the film takes place in prison and also due to whether the imprisoned person actually killed his wife or not. But that's all there is to this film good. As for the film effects and the story itself, it's a big disaster. An interesting idea, but unfortunately poorly implemented, which is a great pity. Otherwise, it could be a good movie, but unfortunately it didn't happen and the film became more of a boring spectacle, which I wished for a while to end. See more 01/27/2021 I'm excited to see this See more 01/26/2021 I was extremely surprised on how much I enjoyed this movie. The story and directing was amazing. It had a great cast that I recognized almost every actor (including Jan from the Office!). See more Read all reviews
