Demanding but ultimately rewarding...

A perfectly cast John Malkovich gives a superb performance in a powerful and intelligent study of a man coming back from the brink.

Rotten Tomatoes

Steve Jacobs' adaptation of J.M. Coetzee's Booker Prize-winning novel Disgrace fearlessly pares back the layers of post-Apartheid South Africa within the microcosm of a father/daughter relationship.

Chicago Reader

The movie eventually begins to wilt under the sober, plodding direction of Steve Jacobs, but the thoughtful screenplay gives Malkovich a complex, increasingly reflective character arc that he plays with great feeling.

Surprisingly successful adaptation.

Chicago Sun-Times

I 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.

Observer (UK)

This chilly film gets surprisingly close to the tone of Coetzee's precise prose.

Chicago Tribune

Unfortunately, though Malkovich remains a compelling and cerebral screen presence, he comes off as too innately detached and prickly to elicit much empathy (not that his character is asking for it, mind you).

Boston Globe

Disgrace is an ugly movie, at times torturous to watch. It probably needs to be.

Times (UK)

It's hard to say what this solid but unadventurous film adds to Coetzee's powerful source material.

Sunday Times (UK)

If you know the novel, you're likely to feel that something has been lost here; if you don't, you still have the film's monotonous pacing to contend with. Still, Jacobs has directed an intelligent, intriguing drama.

Time Out

It'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.
