Gary Oldman was originally rumored to be cast but was replaced by Kevin Kline
Chronology
Follows Catherine Ravenscroft, a television documentary journalist whose work has been built on revealing the transgressions of long-respected institutions.. In multiple episodes, Jonathon uses the same lens throughout the series, a medium length telephoto. Such a lens would be incapable of focusing on close-in subjects such as selfies with Sasha or in the bedroom with Catherine..
At its core, this is a revenge story
Dang! I was not aware of the experience I was in for when I started screening this AppleTV+ limited series starring Cate Blanchett and Kevin Kline. "Disclaimer" is based on a novel of the same name by Renée Knight, and it was written for the screen and directed by Alfonso Cuarón.
Blanchett, as always, is fantastic here and Kline puts in a solid performance as well
Blanchett stars as Catherine, a journalist whose secrets of her past resurface in an alarming way, causing her to confront that past as it wreaks havoc on her entire life. This was a masterfully told story, taking us along a fascinating journey of discovery as the audience is shown (sometimes in vivid detail) the "events" or Catherine’s suits. It was surprising to see Sacha Baron Cohen in a more serious role, but he did it justice.
But boy am I glad I stuck around
Despite a couple/few minor nitpicks, I highly recommend this series if you like character dramas with some added tension/intrigue. Note: There are some pretty graphic depictions of sex/intimacy shown throughout various episodes. This isn’t action-packed, and it did take about half an episode (roughly 30 minutes) before I eventually got "hooked" onto the story.
