"Disclaimer" Is a Baffling Misfire from a Great Auteur
Briefly

"Cleo walks into the sea until the waves reach her neck... her act of heroism seems to allow her to admit her comparative lack of maternal feeling toward her own recently stillborn baby."
"'Disclaimer,' which Cuarón wrote and directed in full, is a work of startling vacuity by one of modern cinema's most exciting auteurs, and a would-be feminist parable about sex and power that can't keep from feeling vaguely sleazy."
"...none of these details make the characters more believable. The extent of the failure is baffling."
