‘Disclaimer’ Review: Cate Blanchett Is Riveting In Alfonso Cuarón’s Poetic & Prosaic Limited Series – Venice Film Festival


Alfonso Cuarón's Apple TV+ limited series Disclaimer starring Cate Blanchett is gut-wrenching, beautiful, and solidly conventional.

An unusual step into the world of the small screen by the Roma and Gravity filmmaker, Cuarón’s TV series both stays true to Knight’s book and rarely strays from rules of the thriller form that widely populate streamers and premium cable these days. Against the sheer beauty and horror of sun-splashed Spanish vacation spots, a derelict London and impersonal hospital wards that Cuarón employs with splays of color and varying distances become plot narrative unto themselves. In fact, children, with Enola Holmes vet Louis Partridge as the now dead Jonathan Brigstocke, and Kodi Smit-McPhee as Catherine and her Sacha Baron-Cohen portrayed lawyer husband’s drug-addicted son Nicolas, are the deep stakes in Disclaimer.
