Leave your thoughts about Disgrace.
| Monsters and CriticsRon WilkinsonA lethal look at the after-shock of apartheid. Tough to watch but bearing a powerful message. |
| Chicago Sun-TimesRoger EbertI awaited the closing scenes of Disgrace with a special urgency, because the story had gripped me deeply but left me with no idea how it would end. None -- and I really cared. |
| Washington TimesKelly Jane TorranceThe Nobel Prize laureate's cutting novel of sex and power in post-apartheid South Africa has been brought to the big screen with all of the loneliness and most of the intelligence of the novel intact. |
| Courier Mail (Australia)Des PartridgeNear-flawless casting through the film ensures it will be recalled as one of the year's outstanding dramas from Australia, or anywhere. |
| Observer (UK)Philip FrenchThis chilly film gets surprisingly close to the tone of Coetzee's precise prose. |
| Boston PhoenixPeter KeoughIf the historical context for black anger is lacking, Jacobs nonetheless builds tension with excruciating effectiveness and dreamlike detachment. |
| Little White LiesAdam WoodwardThis disquieting drama serves as a platform for Malkovich, whose eloquent performance draws you in with great compassion. |
| Time OutNina CaplanIt's an enormously complicated story with great potential for reductive schmaltz, but this is avoided thanks to Anna Maria Monticelli's sharp, sensitive screenplay and superb performances. |
| Daily Express (UK)Allan HunterThe screen version does not disappoint and features an outstanding performance from John Malkovich. |
| ViewLondonMatthew TurnerEngaging, powerful and absorbing drama that doesn't offer any easy answers but exerts a tight grip, thanks to a terrific performance by John Malkovich. |
