Kaye has coaxed another fine juvenile performance from Betty Kaye as Meredith, the class fat girl with a secret artistic streak who gets picked on by the sneering boys, but pick of the bunch is Christina Hendricks (pictured above) as Sarah Madison, one of several battered emotional casualties of the school staff room. James Caan fares better as another old-timer, Charles Seaboldt, and enjoys a bravura comic scene where he gets to deliver an "unfuck your shit" speech in several shades of thespian, though predominantly purple. William Petersen flits tantalisingly in front of the lens a couple of times, while Blythe Danner as veteran pedagogue Ms Perkins hints at a back story we never get to see. Which isn't to denigrate Gayle's performance, which is as painfully touching as it's wildly implausible.ĭirector Kaye has crammed the piece with a wealth of supporting talent, so much so that some of them don't have quite enough to do. Under the circumstances, the way the empathetic Barthes is able to effect a loaves-and-fishes transformation in his classroom in a brief space of time is simply silly, while his late-night encounter with elfin teenaged hooker Erica (Sami Gayle) is the prelude to an almost Disney-like episode of heartwarming redemption. So far, so gruelling, but Detachment undercuts its message by taking the sentimentality bait a little too eagerly. Official cynicism scales new heights when Dearden and her teachers are informed that their sub-standard school is pushing down local property prices, so sheer economics dictate that root-and-branch change must be implemented (Brody, Blythe Danner and James Caan, pictured above). Principal Carol Dearden (Marcia Gay Harden) is left in no doubt by the authorities that her pupils' poor exam results have earmarked her for the chop, regardless of her protests that the school has been used as a dumping ground for low achievers. The political and bureaucratic establishment is also held under a harsh spotlight in Carl Lund's script. The school's corrosive air of hopelessness is all too effectively rendered. Most of the kids can't write, can only speak in expletives, and see the world in terms of physical violence and sexual threat.
Partly, Detachment is an unsettling examination of the American public school system, in which sullen, angry kids take it out on their teachers for what their parents aren't giving them at home (there's a telling scene where the school holds a parents' evening and nobody turns up).
