Review of Detachment (2011) by Grant K — 17 Jan 2013
"A child's intelligent heart can fathom the depths of many dark places, but can it fathom the delicate moment of its own detachment?".
Auteur Tony Kaye's visual essay on the state of public education in America is melodic, unique, moody and poetic. Like a minimalist Terrence Malick, Kaye illustrates a group of lost souls searching for meaning. "Detachment" is thoroughly depressing, and only for mature audiences, but it's one of the most daring pictures to come out in years with some powerhouse performances. Haunting. Disturbing. Powerful.
