Detachment (2012)

The acting in this movie is really good.

It's the kind of movie you'll want to see a second time with someone who hasn't seen it yet, to remember what it was like to watch it for the first time.

There are moments that feel comical, some horrific, and some downright inspiring but the tonal shifts hardly matter as the end results come to a film that's perfect for this time.

An old-fashioned movie made with new-fashioned finesse.

Although the movie goes around without a proper plot the movie is worth watching only for Brilliant Acting of the Adrien Brody...

There's no doubt that the film comes with good intentions. However, it fails horribly in it's execution. It uses terrible narrative and cinematic tropes that bombard the screen, making an incoherent cringe-worthy mess. The ya-ho of a director is reaching deep for sensationalism. I'm sure he's a good guy, with good intentions, but his choices and taste are blasé, overcooked, so yesterday, redundant, straight up cheesy. Has this guy walked outside his house in the last 5 years. Does he know anything of the modern world? Or am I talking about the script now. The world-weary school teacher who wrote it and probably won't ever write anything worthwhile again after this crap.

This is the first movies review i ever write,because i think this movies is excellent,so had to try write some my review of this movies.Adrien in the movies had a very good performance,makes people substitution the character.This movies select character is very good, i like all of the choices of the character. Adrien perfectly handle the'Henry" as usual, he is a brilliant actor, and this time, i think is another performance level.This is the best movie of 2011. watch it makes me feeling sad, and review the society, This city's education policy,is wrong. The policy, teacher, student all got some problem, lets people rely on some strange things. This city is broken, we gotta to be fix it. we maybe can't change those things, but we can try to do the small thing. After i watched it, i think many thing in a while. hope can be someone, someone can help.

first let me set the record straight, my favorite director is Ingmar Bergman and no I don't like the avengers, so I got nothing against art films in general, but this is way too much. The thing that annoys me most about this film is how nobody took the effort to build these characters at all. they just threw in a punch of people thinking "hey see those characters, here's no background about any of them, no development, just relate to them, love them and don't question why they're popping out and disappearing for no reason what so ever." You just don't skip on character building to show cartoons, which by the way offer nothing to the story, just depicts what's being narrated. I have to say though, Lucy Liu's scene is particularly good. also the whole troubled man - young prostitute thing is totally played out, and the movie doesn't add anything new for that matter, just the same predictable unoriginality that stretches out through the entire 98 minutes (which felt a lot longer)
