- 80EmpireKim NewmanEmpireKim NewmanA notable, unusual existential thriller that is psychologically acute without the need for Oscar-clip self-pitying speeches, it’s also terrifically suspenseful with a provocative punchline.
- 75The PlaylistJessica KiangThe PlaylistJessica KiangReally a two-hander overall, Disorder is part home-invasion film, part bodyguard romance and part PTSD drama that delivers solidly on the first two fronts and and partially on the third.
- Beautifully shot, the film is at its best when it’s unclear whether Vincent is intensely paranoid or highly perceptive.
- Winocour doesn’t overstate her subtexts, but they’re there - Disorder is a film about haves and have-nots, about the psychological effects of war, and about the abuse of women as chattels.
- 67HitfixGregory EllwoodHitfixGregory EllwoodIt's good stuff and, in a perfect world, will prompt Hollywood execs to take Winocour's directing skills very seriously.
- Winocour’s ability to build suspense is solid but she’s less confident when it comes to following through. She toys with perversity but sticks to formula.
- 60Time Out LondonTom HuddlestonTime Out LondonTom HuddlestonOverall, there’s just not enough going on in Disorder: largely plotless and set almost entirely in a single, bland location, it doesn’t have enough atmosphere to compensate for the lack of action.
- 50The Hollywood ReporterTodd McCarthyThe Hollywood ReporterTodd McCarthyThe sensitive macho Schoenaerts is pretty much center-screen throughout this sleekly made suspense piece based on a script more loaded with holes than the numerous bad guys he either shoots or stabs to death.
- 40CineVueJohn BleasdaleCineVueJohn BleasdaleA neat little thriller which unfortunately never achieves plausibility.
