This unreasonable attempt to combine a psychological drama about a disturbed soldier and a thriller about protecting the family of a dubious Lebanese businessman was supposed to be scathing and dramatic, but turned out as a naughty hybrid of Paranormal Activity, Inspector Rex (on antidepressants) and a thriller with Ondřej Vetchý. In the end, its final name, Disorder, is an apt title - but it seems that the crew itself suffered from (perception) disorders in addition to the protagonist and the crew. [Cannes 2015]

A mix of The Bodyguard (focusing on the protagonist and his fragile relationship with his employer) and Drive (the aesthetics, the minimalism, the music). It's a pity it's so austere and short for what it's about. The emotional level is strong and the running time is too short to fully get under the skin of the main characters. The more action-packed passages are surprisingly chilling and suspenseful. It fits right in with the contemporary European trend of more ambitious filmmaking.

The European answer to Hollywood’s The Bodyguard, almost like something from Michael Haneke (and Susanne Bier at the same time).
Minimalistic and psychological, with the main character torn by paranoid psychosis and vainly craving a hug and something meaningful in his life. Disorder is a sensitive and harsh film with chilling suspense in the thriller passages and fragile when talking about relationships. It’s a great film for the more discerning viewer.
