About ‘Disclaimer’

“Disclaimer” is based on the best-selling novel of the same name by Renée Knight. The psychological thriller follows renowned journalist, Catherine Ravenscroft (Cate Blanchett) – someone who has built her career by exposing the secrets of others. But her life takes a dark turn when she discovers a novel that inexplicably appears on her bedside table. To her horror, the novel reveals a dark secret from her own past – one she thought was buried forever. The revelation begins to unravel her life as she races to uncover the writer’s true identity, testing her relationships with her husband, Robert (Sacha Baron Cohen), and their son, Nicholas (Kodi Smit-McPhee). The cast includes other heavy hitters like Kevin Kline and Lesley Manville, along with Cohen and Smit-McPhee.

“Disclaimer” is Alfonso Cuarón’s first time writing and producing for television. And he’s doing it alongside his regular collaborator and cinematographer Emmanuel Lubezki. Lubezki worked with Cuarón on “Gravity,” “Children of Men,” “Y Tu Mamá También” and “A Little Princess.” Cuarón also brought on cinematographer Bruno Delbonnel, known for his work on “Amélie,” “Inside Llewyn Davis”, and “Darkest Hour.” Cuarón’s decision to bring in both these highly talented shooters for his first TV show likely means Cuarón doesn’t want to lose his unique style in the translation from big screen to small.

What Else Does Apple TV+ Have To Offer?

I find myself opening up Apple TV+ more and more these days. From new mysteries like “Lady in the Lake,” “Presumed Innocent,” and now “Disclaimer” to (classic) shows like “Ted Lasso” and “Severance,” there’s a ton to like about Apple TV+. It costs $10 per month, and you get Friday Night MLB baseball games and access to MLS Season Pass if you want to watch every MLS game this season.
