"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.

Top Critic

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.

Top Critic

Held together by a bravura lead performance, Caged is a hard-hitting thriller about the fragility of the human condition within such a monstrous method of punishment.

Benjamin Gummery

The good thing about Caged is that interesting stuff happens constantly in every scene. It is an interesting exploration of the effects of solitary confinement, a descent into hell merged with a contained Thriller

Alejandro Turdo

'Caged' is a candid look at how a flawed prison system robs an individual of his humanity while espousing its mission of rehabilitation.

Journal and Courier (Lafayette, IN)

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.

July 23, 2021 | Rating: 2.5/4 | Full Review…

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

A strong lead performance and unflinching depiction of solitary confinement make this a compelling look at what is essentially legalized torture.
