Watch Detachment For Free

n my opinion it was a great movie with some interesting elements, even though having some plot holes and the ending probably was just too messy and crammed together, but still fun to watch and not your casual movie that is similar to all other ones.

Fun premise, good actors, bad writing. This film seemed to have potential at the beginning but it quickly devolves into a trite action film. Ultimately it's very boring.

This movie feels like it was made purely to piss off people who want good shows

It's simply great fun, a winsome film and an occasionally over-the-top luxury fantasy that never flags.

This is a sad and depressing movie about the human condition. It is only about the misery of being a teenager and yhe trials of being a teacher in a school where no one wants to be. Sorry to say there is no ballance to this movie. The cinematography is not done well, many of the sceens are shakey. It is more live a documentary then a movie. After 45 minutes I had to turn it off as it lacked the content to be called a drama or even a movie. The characters do not engage me and make me want to continue watching.

Excellent performances all round. Great cast. Interesting subject matter. However, it feels like the film is designed for the people holding the purse strings in the education system. "More funding please" Unlike the many similar 'teacher tries to save a group of wayward kids' films. This is squarely from the teacher's point of view, particularly Adrien Brody's character, following his daily struggles inside and outside school life. At times it is slow, focuses on the bleak and apparently unwinnable battle the teachers face. And is no more positive in it's hopes for the future of the students. All of this is quite deliberate but tiring. At times the plinky plonky sad piano and slow motion is a little over the top. I wouldn't recommend it to a friend. I admire it's attempt more than it's execution. 6.7 stars.

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)

Unoriginal, predictable, melodramatic yet dull.Detachment doesn't tackle a new subject. Delinquent kids and teachers' inability to teach or control them has been a theme since the 1950s (Blackboard Jungle anyone?). However, with each of these sorts of movies you hope that there is something new to be added. If there are movies that add to the discussion, Detachment isn't one of them.Rather than try to present solutions, it just shows the problems. You would think Adrien Brody's character represents the solution but his character is too implausible to be true: idealistic and overly goody-two-shoesy. Plus, is he really the solution? (Any more and there'd be spoilers). If anything, the movie is telling us: don't be a teacher and, more broadly, don't have kids.The plot is quite predictable. Some events are signposted far in advance. The plot isn't hard to figure out in advance, especially as you have so much time to work it out, the movie progresses so slowly.Sure, there's heaps of melodrama, people throwing things, kids being all aggro, ridiculous dialogue and sub-plots, but it's fairly empty. Lots of pretense and bluster, but no substance.
