Alfonso Cuarón Subverted Sci-Fi and Fantasy. Now He’s Coming for TV
“Gravity,” “Children of Men,” the best Harry Potter movie—and now a seven-part miniseries? With “Disclaimer,” director Alfonso Cuarón has set out to conquer TV in the name of cinema.
His films regularly deliver tiny, unexpected moments—a woman shyly revealing herself to be pregnant in Children of Men; a stranded astronaut making radio contact with an Inuit man and his dogs down on Earth in Gravity —that feel intimate and grand at the same time. His first big project since 2018’s Roma is not a movie but a television show: Disclaimer, which stars Cate Blanchett and Kevin Kline and streams on Apple TV+. Its seven episodes are marvels of engineered tension: Mysteries turn inside out, narrators grow unreliable, facts evaporate, and the sand never stops shifting.
