TIFF 2024: Disclaimer Movie Trailer
If you’re a fan of psychological thrillers that keep you on the edge of your seat, Disclaimer is one film you can’t miss at TIFF 2024.

With Cate Blanchett leading an all-star cast, Disclaimer promises an intense, layered, and suspenseful story that will leave audiences questioning reality and truth.
A Journalist’s Darkest Secret Unraveled
Disclaimer follows the story of Catherine Ravenscroft, a renowned journalist played by the iconic Cate Blanchett. Known for her fearless reporting and exposing the secrets of others, Catherine suddenly finds herself in the hot seat when she receives a mysterious book in the mail. As she delves into its pages, she realizes the novel’s protagonist is eerily similar to her younger self, and the plot reveals a secret she’s long buried.
Now, Catherine must face the terrifying question: who sent the book, and what do they want? As the story unravels, the stakes rise. How will she protect her family—her husband Robert (Sacha Baron Cohen) and son Nicholas (Kodi Smit-McPhee)—and her own reputation, if her secret is exposed?
A Stellar Cast That Delivers
As always, Cate Blanchett shines in her role, delivering a powerful and nuanced performance as a woman grappling with her past while trying to protect her present. She is joined by an exceptional cast, including Kevin Kline as Stephen Brigstocke, a man also entangled in the mystery of the book. Sacha Baron Cohen, known for his versatility, brings depth to his role as Catherine’s husband Robert, while Kodi Smit-McPhee plays their son Nicholas with an emotional intensity that tugs at the heartstrings.
Lesley Manville, Louis Partridge, Leila George, and Hoyeon round out the cast, each bringing their A-game to this complex and gripping narrative.
