Disorder Reviews

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.

| Original Score: 2/4 | Sep 1, 2016

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.

| Original Score: 3/4 | Aug 25, 2016

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

| Original Score: 4/5 | Aug 25, 2016

"Disorder" may ultimately fall victim to its own narrative ambivalence, but acting this magnetic achieves a clarity all its own.

| Aug 18, 2016

Winocour's execution employs claustrophobic cinematography and a chilling sound design to subsume the audience into Vincent's traumatized POV.

| Aug 12, 2016

Tall, dark, and brooding, Belgian actor Matthias Schoenaerts is the man you go to when you need bruised masculinity, International Cinema Division.

| Original Score: 2.5/4 | Aug 12, 2016

Disorder is tense and scary, beautiful to look at and even more gorgeous to hear. In the end, it is also extremely moving. That's the most thrilling part of all.

| Original Score: 4/4 | Aug 12, 2016

Alice Winocour's "Disorder" is a tightly wound spring of a movie, a tour de force of sound design and sly editing that implies much more than it shows.

| Aug 11, 2016

Jessie assures Vincent that she has limited knowledge of her husband's professional life, and that she doesn't ask questions. Unfortunately, neither does Disorder.

| Aug 11, 2016

How often does a film come along in which what the audience expects and wants is indistinguishable from the dark zones of a character's subconscious?

| Original Score: B+ | Aug 11, 2016

Somewhat serviceable thriller with an undercooked premise rests on the shoulders of its charismatic leads.

| Aug 10, 2016

Respectfully folding the symptoms of PTSD into a slick genre piece, Winocour's second film is more of a calling card than it is an arrival.

| Original Score: B- | Aug 9, 2016

This is very much a Matthias Schoenaerts picture. Having been hopelessly miscast in a series of rather poor English language pictures, Disorder's soulful brute allows him to revisit the brooding and hulking of Bullhead and Rust and Bone.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Aug 8, 2016

Before Disorder becomes a programmatic and somewhat sloppy home-invasion thriller, it's a particularly vivid portrait of a man warily eyeing the tumult of his homecoming.

| Original Score: 2.5/4 | Aug 5, 2016

Action may seem slow in coming, but interest never flags and Winocour doesn't flinch from necessary violence. Hollywood awaits her, if she's interested.

| Original Score: 3/4 | May 6, 2016

A steamy, suspenseful tension-bomb - psychological, sexual, you name it - with potential catastrophe at the periphery of each scene.

| Original Score: 3/4 | May 6, 2016

Intriguing ...

| Original Score: 3/5 | Mar 27, 2016

There's a shameful pleasure to be had in ogling the plush lifestyle, perfectly conveyed through the set decoration, and then seeing it all get messed up and covered in blood by the end.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Mar 24, 2016

A thriller that fails to thrill.

Full Review | Original Score: 2/5 | Mar 24, 2016

The action sequences, like everything else in the film, are extremely stylishly shot but there is so much posturing going on that the film is utterly shorn of drama or tension.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Mar 24, 2016
