"Stress Position" is definitely not a movie that leaves you behind with a good feeling afterwards. In a documentary kind of style it tells the story of two friends that bet to break the other, testing out how much each of them can stand.
The concept of this is very interesting. It would be a lie to say, that some rude parts of our personality aren't triggered by it. As probably predictable, the experiment escalates, the punishments get more and more cruel and climax into a real nightmare.
All of my rating is based on the hope and to some extent believe, that this is all scripted. It is sold as a documentary but I cannot help but think that this is really a scripted movie, the characters just behave a bit too stylish and artsy, sometimes also predictable, to really resemble true persons. If it should be based on real happenings nonetheless, it is a shame. I don't want to see people break in real life and this would go far beyond the border of what an interesting film is worth doing.
