Top Critics Reviews

rotten:
A loud, grating wallow in dime-store despair.
– Rene Rodriguez,

rotten:
The film is guilty of reverse sentimentality, where the relentless unhappiness comes to seem as manufactured and artificial as the schmaltz in a romcom.

rotten:
Detachment gets an A for enthusiasm but a C for execution.
– Linda Barnard,
Toronto Star,

fresh:
There's something weirdly effective about the artistic desperation, which includes inserts of chalkboard animation and to-the-camera testimonials.
– Robert Abele,

rotten:
Everywhere you turn in Detachment, someone is trying to make you feel like hell.
