New York Magazine (Vulture)
Linklater must have recognized a kindred spirit when he read Belber's play. He's given us a reality-fantasy game, a psychodrama, a harangue, and a detective story all rolled into one. - 89
Austin Chronicle
This is what great dialogue -- and by extension great movies -- is made of. - 88
Chicago Sun-Times
The writing, acting and direction are so convincing that at some point I stopped thinking about the constraints and started thinking about the movie's freedoms. - 88
Boston Globe
Smart, unpredictable, and alive with the energies of actors who clearly are enjoying being stretched by their material. - 75
Chicago Tribune
Tape may not be a great movie, but it's a great demonstration of creativity within severe limitations. - 75
Christian Science Monitor
Linklater keeps it lively with imaginative camerawork and razor-sharp editing. - 63
New York Post
For all of Linklater's acrobatic camera moves, you never quite escape the feeling you're watching a barely adapted TV version of a somewhat gimmicky stage play. - 60
TV Guide Magazine
The action is confined to a single set and atmosphere is appropriately claustrophobic, but the image quality is harsh and flat. This accentuates the oppressive meanness of Vince's hotel room, but makes for some unpleasant viewing.
