Empire
A 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. - 75
The Playlist
Really 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. - 75
The Globe and Mail (Toronto)
Beautifully shot, the film is at its best when it’s unclear whether Vincent is intensely paranoid or highly perceptive. - 70
Screen Daily
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. - 70
Variety
Winocour hurtles into a violent, heart-in-mouth third act rife with look-behind-you peril. It’s a silly but robustly effective escalation of the latent suspense already conjured in the impressive, snakily extended party sequence. - 67
Hitfix
It's good stuff and, in a perfect world, will prompt Hollywood execs to take Winocour's directing skills very seriously. - 60
The Guardian
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. - 60
Time Out London
Overall, 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.
