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. Go to Full Review
Wenlei Ma The Nightly (AU) 10/25/2024
The performances are superb, the photography truly beautiful, the production design so inviting and Cuaron’s command of tone is always masterful. Go to Full Review
Inkoo Kang The New Yorker 10/21/2024
Alfonso Cuarón’s foray into television is a work of such vacuity that even Cate Blanchett can’t salvage it. Go to Full Review

5/5
This will surely be the series of 2024 that will get audiences feverishly talking — and perhaps reflecting on their own behaviours and judgements. Go to Full Review

5/5
With its multi-point-of-view narrative and incredibly destabilising twist, Disclaimer will keep the audience hooked to the screen until its very last episode, desperate to uncover the tangled web that is presented in front of us and learn the truth. Go to Full Review
Narendra Banad Hindustan Times Jan 30
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. Go to Full Review

Gregory N Nov 27 All you critics—professional or amateur—must be crazy, cold, or blind! This was a superb drama whose "pulpiness" or "melodrama" was earned in every case. No wasted space; every glance mattered. One theme was the vital one about how perspective changes reality. And the other was about having no voice because no one is listening. In the last episode, Catherine cries, "It's time for my voice to be heard!" But, most transcendently important were the performances, uniformally good. Of course, Cate Blanchett was extraordrinary (dare I say, as usual?) But, most incredible, so beyond compare it was scary, was the Pirate King himself become the most pathetic, bitter old man imaginable. Kevin Kline alone is reason enough for five stars and an excellent reason to study this fine drama. He surpassed himself and I was left in awe. See more Stephanie S Nov 25 This has to be the first Cate Blanchett work I couldnt finish. Beyond boring See more Cem Okan Y Oct 23 Great acting if you are interested in watching Cate. However, this does not justify all the flaws this series have. See more RONALD O Oct 21 This is what good acting, writing and television screenplay should look like. See more JoParkerBear P Sep 28 Kevin Kline is actually terrifying — not a sentence I ever expected to say or write. See more Beth C Aug 30 Wanted to love this and greatly anticipated its premiere. Some of my favorite actors were in it. But a fourth of the way through the first episode, it seemed like a bad soap opera. Tried three times to watch it, but ended up not caring about the characters or the plot. Over-acted. Too affected. Can’t recommend it. See more Read all reviews
