"The truth shall set you free." John 8:31-32
What would you do if you recognized yourself or someone you loved in a newly-released book with this disclaimer: "Any resemblance to people living or dead is not a coincidence."
Caution: Vague (just like the truth can be) spoilers ahead.
I watched the mini-series Disclaimer on Apple TV+, written and directed by Alfonso Cuarón, because of the cast led by the luminous Cate Blanchett. But I ended up being glued to the series because of the narrative that unfolded in a dramatic, gripping and thought-provoking manner. Like the supporting characters in the series, the viewer passes judgment on what seems to be irrefutable.
So you think you know the truth? Disclaimer shows you how right or wrong you can be.
The first episode establishes this: a young Englishman named Jonathan (Louis Partridge) travels to Italy on a train with his girlfriend Sasha (Liv Hill); Sasha cuts short her trip. On an Italian beach, Jonathan meets an older woman named Catherine Ravenscroft (Leila George) who is vacationing with her five-year-old son Nicholas. After their encounter, Jonathan ends up the way a parent never wants his child to end up.
Narrated in the first, second and third persons by different characters, the first episode also spans 20 years, swinging back and forth from the past to the present.
