Cate Blanchett's Catherine burning a book over the sink in Disclaimer
Apple TV+ continues to cement itself as the streamer that takes the biggest risks and tells the boldest stories, all while adhering to a level of superior quality. Disclaimer, the psychological thriller limited series, is an embarrassment of riches.
Cuarón brilliantly lets the viewer bask in the Ravenscroft family's wealth and privilege, which only heightens the heartbreaking parallel storyline that uses Catherine's past to dismantle her present. Smartly juxtaposed with Catherine's luxurious life and respected reputation is Kevin Kline's Stephen at his lowest, both drowning in and paralyzed by his grief and suffering. Not only did he lose his wife but his son, Jonathan , the latter of whom died 20 years ago.
Narration serves as a blunt look inside the minds of our characters in the present, mostly exposing their shame and feelings they'd never admit to anyone, let alone themselves. It connects to a larger theme of the show which is that we are so quick to judge people and rarely, if ever, do we take the time to consider the many complicated factors that directly and indirectly impact human behavior. It's easy and comfortable in such a fast-paced society to accept things at face value.
Oddly, Kodi Smit-McPhee is underused for the majority of this series, with Nicholas barely budging beyond his mumbled"sure, whatever" attitude. He's elusive and so clearly craves an emotional bond with his mother that he continuously pushes away, much to Catherine's frustration. If you didn't know Catherine's alleged guilty past, it would be easy to dismiss Nicholas as a brat any time he shrugged off his mother's ill-fated attempts at connection.
