Detachment is the sort of film-of-the-week that ought to appeal to anyone who loves movies in the purest sense.

While Adrien Brody gives it his all in his performance, the film suffers greatly from an attempt to equalize its multiple plotlines.

A bizarre, well intentioned mess, at the very least, Detachment is never dull...even as the film is bad, it's compulsively watchable.
