A stark portrait of trauma.

Worth watching even though it doesn't fully cohere beyond its well-executed tone.

Guy Lodge

Variety

Opaque and formally ungainly, this itchy meditation on a host of contemporary social ills offers audiences a vividly, deliberately ugly worldview, but finally makes for hollow viewing.

It's hard to like Discreet, with its long-winded earnestness and grave protagonist.

Rated: 2/5

Gay Essential

Despite the disturbing subject matter and matter of fact way in which it is dealt, it's hard not to search for deeper meaning when coming face to face with a character so believably broken beyond belief.

Maitland McDonagh

Film Journal International

A disturbed loner begins to unravel in this contemplative thriller that's less interested in conventional thrills than in drawing viewers into the protagonist's off-kilter world view.

Kinda hard to follow the movie a little bit, But I got it. Did have to watch as I experienced those issues- In my boyhood year. It does leave an Impressed memory, but to me could not myself lead up to murder the Monster I had then encountered in those times. I have just horrible Memories of those times- Just horrible memories almost every day.

Discreet is a weird movie for weird people. A waste of 70+ minutes.

Should've turned it off 10 minutes into it, Kept waiting for it to materialize into a 78% tomatometer movie or even a 50% audience score. There's 81 minutes of my life I wish I had back.

Horrible. We watched the first 1/2 hoping for something to happen and as the slow film dragged on, it became more unbearable. I found it a bit creepy and annoying.
