by Joe Neumaier [New York Daily News]
“..there isn't a cynical moment in this overblown drama, but it feels personal in a way that perhaps shouldn't also become political..”
by Ella Taylor [NPR]
“..there are multiple mini-narratives that run through Detachment and all of them are worthy of your attention..”

“..the younger performers make equally strong impressions..”
by Frank Scheck [Hollywood Reporter]

by Andrew O'Hehir [Salon.com]
“..one big scream, cliched and hardly credible as an oblique call to civility..”
by Joshua Rothkopf [Time Out New York]
“..has everything you'd expect in a student film, but it's instead the product of a grizzled 60-year-old veteran..”
by Kyle Smith [New York Post]
“..establishes a drifting, narcotized visual tone that's apt and effective, but the reactionary script brings out the worst in its impressive cast..”
by Mark Holcomb [Village Voice]
“..drives a coffin nail through a noble profession with such ruthless virulence that it makes no point at all..”
by Rex Reed [New York Observer]
“..delivers a story that lacks nuance, and mixes badly with Kaye's impatient edits, Dutch angles and extreme close-ups..”
by Ronnie Scheib [Variety]
Review rate : B-
“..bringing credibility to scenes that often don't deserve it and making the film watchable even at its most absurd extremes..”
