While Adrien Brody gives it his all in his performance, the film suffers greatly from an attempt to equalize its multiple plotlines.

The film is guilty of reverse sentimentality, where the relentless unhappiness comes to seem as manufactured and artificial as the schmaltz in a romcom.

Even a talented director like Tony Kaye (American History X) and a great performance from Brody can't save a mess like this.

A bizarre, well intentioned mess, at the very least, Detachment is never dull...even as the film is bad, it's compulsively watchable.

Detachment gets an A for enthusiasm but a C for execution.

It's a film so well paced with a message so relevant that it deserves an audience bigger than what it got and it deserves more of an emotional impact than will resonant throughout.

Detachment has such original energy and is so infused with righteous anger that it proves hard to dismiss.

Everywhere you turn in Detachment, someone is trying to make you feel like hell.

Detachment is the sort of film-of-the-week that ought to appeal to anyone who loves movies in the purest sense.

There's something weirdly effective about the artistic desperation, which includes inserts of chalkboard animation and to-the-camera testimonials.
