What does the Disclaimer* talk about?

The plot begins with the introduction of Catherine Ravenscroft (Cate Blanchett), a respected journalist, and her family. He has built his career on exposing other people’s mistakes and transgressions; This is a fact that has always divided the public.

One day, Catherine receives an anonymous package in the mail. Inside the box is only a book by an unknown author. The trouble begins when he realizes that the plot of the book is based on his own life story and his darkest secrets are revealed.

Without knowing who sent the package or the identity of the author, Catherine does her best to hide the book from her husband Robert and son Nicholas, but the task becomes more complicated as the “blackmailer” becomes increasingly willing to reveal everything to her. family.

Directed and written by the prestigious Alfonso Cuarón (Gravity, Rome and Children of Men), the production is based on the book Insult, published in 2015 by author Renné Knight.

Disclaimer* is a psychological thriller that doesn’t invest in major plot twists or twists throughout the episodes, but instead examines the morality of its characters, who are actually full of layers. So don’t expect big action moments; The production is one to be watched calmly. This does not prevent it from giving a result that will leave the unsuspecting in shock.

Another interesting point is that the story is told in an audiobook-like format. First-person narratives are used, describing the characters’ emotions (switching between Catherine’s perspectives and supporting characters).

The idea is that the format seems to transport us into a book where it’s possible to know exactly what’s going on in the characters’ minds.

With two timelines shown simultaneously, one in the past and the other in the present, the plot fills in the gaps with the patience required of good drama.

In what initially seems like a story about revenge, The disclaimer offers deeper thoughts on machismo, the discrediting of women, and even cancel culture (especially when we only see part of the story).

Finally, proving once again why she is one of the best actresses working today, Cate Blanchett delivers an incredible and impressive performance that has everything it takes to compete at the 2025 Emmy Awards.
