Disorder

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.

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

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

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

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.

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.

The disorder of the title isn't limited to Vincent's PTSD and alienation. His entire world is wired into violence and instability.

Streamlining a film to cut out the fluff can be a great thing; editing it till its bones show, however, is obviously less than ideal.

If you're a Schoenaerts fan, his performance is worth the price of admission alone.

Disorder is a character study that flirts with becoming a love story while retaining the far cooler blood of a thriller in its veins.

Alarmingly sensuous thriller. Her attention to sound is gripping, nailing the narrative to Vincent's point-of-view, the audience sharing his hyper-attentive subjectivity. The surfaces are chaotic and subterfuges compound.
