Phillip Maciak The New Republic There's something wrong with Disclaimer. The show never gives us enough clues to solve the puzzle, but it does create a feeling that something important remains unsolved. Oct 25, 2024 Full Review Wenlei Ma The Nightly (AU) The performances are superb, the photography truly beautiful, the production design so inviting and Cuaron’s command of tone is always masterful. Oct 25, 2024 Full Review Inkoo Kang The New Yorker Alfonso Cuarón’s foray into television is a work of such vacuity that even Cate Blanchett can’t salvage it. Oct 21, 2024 Full Review Narendra Banad Hindustan Times The cinematography credit is shared by longtime collaborator and Oscar winner Emmanuel ‘Chivo’ Lubezki (Children of Men, Gravity), and Bruno Delbonnel (Amélie, Inside Llewyn Davis), possibly the most superpowered visual team ever assembled in any medium. Jan 30, 2025 Full Review Frank J. Avella The Contending Disclaimer is one of the more erotically-charged shows to drop in recent years, giving Fellow Travelers a run for its sexy money,.. Partridge will be a new social media sex symbol for women and gay men. Rated: A Dec 19, 2024 Full Review Francesca Steele iNews.co.uk Cuarón has fallen foul of his own warning, allowing himself to believe he’s making something bold and brilliant rather than this perfectly acceptable, but not remotely special, nonsense. Rated: 3/5 Dec 10, 2024 Full Review Read all reviews

Tom F The series does everything I hate about this sort of storytelling, but they mostly make it work. The final episode revelation could have eased into a bit. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/20/25 Full Review Agustin G Had to watch it with my wife. Too much ado about nothing. So the woman was looking very hard for a reason to divorce, yep you´ve got it, but then why marry a spineless Borat looking boring guy. The kid was left traumatized and became a loser so he was the real victim in all of this. To me the version in the book was more accurate than her account Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/19/25 Full Review Audience Member Beautiful looking, heart breaking, immersive, wonderfully acted….a masterpiece of atmospheric psychological storytelling. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/17/25 Full Review Audience Member I really thought the ending was impactful, and I loved the Cape Fear element to the show previous to the finale. No spoilers obviously. I'll say that there's a story choice in the ending which can sit wrong with people who don't like getting bamboozled. When I watch shows, and movies. I want to be bamboozled, and they leave small breadcrumbs of what's actually happening. Like the literal opening scene of the first episode as an example. I thought the show was really, really good. At times the show was melodramatic, and it made it feel awkward instead of really impacting me, but that was merely a small portion of the show. Most of the time, the drama really works. Thank you!! Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/16/25 Full Review CT 8 Basically a tale of revenge in which the men are bad, so nothing new here. We’re lead to believe Blanchett’s character has been unfaithful and when it all comes out there’s dire consequences. Both in her professional and personal life. And instead of simply clarifying what happened to her that fateful summer she allows everyone around here to believe the worst. It’s only in the final episode we discover the truth. A truth that ultimately leads her to leave her husband for the crimes of not trusting her (when she spends the entire series acting guilty) and for being relieved she didn’t have an affair. You can’t make this stuff up…. Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 02/07/25 Full Review Efrem M Kate Blanchett is one of the best actors to live at the moment. I don't know what she's doing on that show. It's really dim and painful to watch. I didn't care to finish the season. Rated 1 out of 5 stars 02/04/25 Full Review Read all reviews
