Critics Consensus

Well-acted and solidly crafted, Disorder (Maryland) relies on patiently established slow-burning tension to set the stage for an intelligent, intimate psychological thriller.

The movie is at its best when it recreates what it must feel like to be in a constant state of paranoia and pain. If only that feeling were accompanied by one or two other emotions.

Rated: 2/4

It all allows the film to have an eerie, old school noir aesthetic that's reminiscent of Fritz Lang coupled with the psychologically destructive emotional pathos of Claude Chabrol. Yet Winocour manages to make things feel unique.

Rated: 3/4

Ambiguity permeates almost every scene in new suspense film "Disorder." That sounds like it could be maddening. Here, the result is darkly compelling ...

Vague Visages

It is rare for a film to look objectively at war’s after effects and the violence it instills on its participants, and yet Alice Winocour’s Disorder is not concerned with pity or ferocity.

This is the best Schoenaerts has been since Bullhead ... his paranoia consumes all and Wincour's camera swirls... stretching the tension well past bearable up to something kind of exquisite

Schoenaerts has a knack for amplifying his presence to appear larger within a scene. He fills the character of Vincent like a man made of stone.

Rated: B+

Loved this movie! There’s a genuine tension/suspense in this movie throughout. If you appreciate thoughtful, psychological thrillers, you’ll probably enjoy this film. If you just want a bunch of mindless action and hero-worshipping, it’s not for you.

Rated 5 out of 5 stars

Fantastic movie! Interesting choice of music using Gesaffelstein. Really adds to the disturbing quality of the film. We need more female action directors.

Matthias Schoenaerts plays a similar character in Disorder to the one he played in Rust and Bone - quiet, troubled, physically courageous, and violent. His performance is solid, and the film is too, despite some holes. There are times when characters' behaviour simply doesn't fit the situation. Most notably, when Vincent (Schoenaerts) calls a friend for help yet seemingly fails to tell him of the dramatic events that triggered the call. And there's a continuity problem too - in the first of a pair of scenes it's raining heavily of an afternoon, but in the second scene of the pair, later that night, there's no water on the leaves of the trees in the vicinity.

Disorder has little dialogue and can be slow at times but Matthias Schoenaerts' performance as Vincent was great. It does pick up near the last half and the characters Winocour makes are quite interesting. Where it lacked was for a thriller it was maybe little too slow but it nailed Vincent's paranoia and his mental and physical pains.

Wincour creates a unique world of vibrancy, dark shadows and original use of contemporary music, and Schoenaerts and Kruger both are typically strong but the psychological aspect of the script gets too out of touch with reality

Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars
