Interesting film - Detachment review by NG
I really liked this film. It has strong leads and a depressing but interesting story to follow. Moving and emotional

Occasionally potent melodrama - Detachment review by AER
Good performances aid an overwrought melodramatic plot - however there are convincing, heartfelt passages that really resonated... It's an unruly customer like many of the pupils depicted in the film. The ending is particularly affecting as the school is seen in ruins and the narrator reads the Fall of The House of Usher to a full/then derelict classroom. Thoughtful but very flawed but at least it was interesting.
