A un instituto lleno de alumnos problemáticos y con unos resultados académicos muy bajos, llega Henry Bathes, un profesor sustituto que posee un auténtico don para conectar con los alumnos. Pero Henry prefiere ignorar su talento. Al trabajar sólo sustituciones, nunca permanece bastante tiempo en un instituto como para mantener una relación afectiva con sus alumnos o sus compañeros. Cuando llega a este instituto donde una frustrada administración ha conseguido volver totalmente apáticos a los alumnos, Henry no tarda en convertirse en un ejemplo a seguir para los adolescentes. Logra una conexión emocional con los alumnos, con los otros profesores y con una adolescente prostituta a la que recoge en la calle. Puede que gracias a ellos se dé cuenta de que no está solo en su desesperada búsqueda de la belleza en un mundo aparentemente falto de amor y lleno de maldad.
El profesor (Detachment) Ratings & Reviews
- shirazesat15 de diciembre de 2025Heartbreaking but a must-watch, with many lessons to learn
- Jay Ashley Sparks18 de noviembre de 2025Although not the most exciting movie, Brody is outstanding and pushed this to a 4 star review. Filmed more as a fly on the wall documentary than a traditional movie, there were moments where speeches by Brody's character Henry Barth were simply powerful, emotionally charged and at times overwhelming. Certainly sheds light on Teaching as a profession and the challenges that come with it, that is hidden from most. A real eye opening experience of movie
- leeartlee12 de diciembre de 2025So I thought this movie would be kind of a cool “ really hip teacher helps these toughest nails students see the light” kind of movie. Instead, it was no joking one of the most depressing and hopeless films I’ve ever seen… well at least for the last couple of years. There’s some really great parts but there’s a lot of just depressing “oh my God kill me now” parts too. I think that some people will really click with it. For most people, though I think they will not enjoy the movie. It’s fairly slow paced not that much happens and there’s no resolution to the problems that they present throughout the film.
- gnrrain10 de noviembre de 2025Exceedingly touching, thought-provoking, and insightful. I enjoyed this start to finish.
- ting6319 de octubre de 2025Mesmerizing
- Ahmed Siddiqui29 de septiembre de 2025Film shattered me. This is what films are made for. Deals with incredibly heavy and adult themes and topics, yet it’s the youth of today who have to deal with these realities. I’ve nothing more to add. This film said it all.
- colleenklein41712 de mayo de 2025It was rather slow, but yet that is the point of it, watching you in emotions and reactions. I thoroughly enjoyed the acting the plot very real life characters.
- Daggerhead6924 de diciembre de 2024He's just like me fr - numb and hollow inside - never have i ever seen a movie mirror my personality this well before - its prolly me but i relate to finch from ATBP and adrien brody from detachment a lot - something about this wrenching pain and isolation feels comforting when potrayed on a larger screen :)
- amanda mae23 de noviembre de 2024absolutely destroyed me i don't even know how to rate this one.
