My favourite Adrien Brody's film from what I've seen . Such an amazing cast , such an amazing story

Impressive movie. Beautifully shot. How can so much pain, loneliness and sorrow be expressed just by acting?

Geez, this is a hard-hitting movie. Don't watch it if you don't feel like feeling. Not good feelings, either. Deep, emotional emotions. An excellent movie.

¨A child's intelligent heart can fathom the depth of many dark places, but can it fathom the delicate moment of its own detachment? ¨
Detachment is a very interesting film although I wouldn't say it`s entertaining. It raises a lot of questions and social issues without giving many answers, but it does make us aware of many problems that our society is facing when it comes to the educational system and parents lack of involvement in it. I thought Detachment…

First, a litte background info. My grandpa used to teach at a tough inner-city school filled with kids much like the ones in this film (or so I've been told). He taught the kids whose parents passed them off onto teachers just so they didn't have to be around them all the time. He taught the kids who were, in society's eyes, the world's future drug-addicts, dealers, and rapists. No child is born evil. No…

Todo apesta. Y la mejor solución cuando todo apesta es sumergirse en la mierda hasta el fondo, hasta ese punto dulce en que uno crea tolerancia al olor y, simplemente, sobrelleva su existencia.
Esto es lo que nos cuenta Tony Kaye usando una historia que ya hemos visto, pero nunca contada desde un ángulo tan deprimente, falto de esperanza y, por qué no decirlo, excesivo.

This movie was too cynical for me to really enjoy it, or the characters that pervaded it. While Adrien Brody gives a solid, brooding performance, he didn't feel like a full character. He, along with most everyone else, felt, as the title would suggest, too detached from everyday life. The people here are depicted in a dichotomy of both ultra-emotinal beings and simultaneously hollow, vacant shells, incapable of really connecting with anyone. This duality made the film overall seem too…

Interesting film, if a bit psychedelic at times. I would definitely like to see it again.
I watched it with my girlfriend and we had completely opposite takes on how the story concludes - it just shows that the film is quite open to interpretations. Also, it sparked a long discussion about the role of teachers. I really like when the experience with a film extends to after the end-credits.
Had some flaws (could not believe the behaviour/reactions of some of the characters) but worth watching none-the-less
