An affluent African American psychiatrist (Edi Gathegi), convicted of murdering his wife (Angela Sarafyan), is sentenced to life in federal prison, then sent to solitary confinement. Struggling to file an appeal, he descends into madness, pushed to his breaking point by an abusive female guard (Hardin) hell-bent on her own form of justice and haunted by his dead wife, causing him to question his own innocence and sanity.

2.5/4

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.

"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.

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.

3.5/5

An interesting take on a very real issue. Caged is a sufficient film about solitary confinement and its horrific effects.
