Critics Consensus

A comedy that tackles outrageous subjects (pornography, transvestism, bisexuality and drug abuse) with both grace and mischievous glee.

Kevin Thomas

Los Angeles Times

The film is sustained effortlessly by the charismatic Watling and Tosar, who are among Spain's most popular movie stars.

Rated: 4/5

New York Post

The comedy is too broad, lacking the subtlety that the film's high-brow intentions require.

Rated: 2/4

New York Times

The Freudian farce Unconscious is paced so breathlessly that it keeps you panting to keep up with each new plot twist.

Las Vegas Weekly

Oristrell stages funny, madcap scenes around bondage, cross-dressing and incest.

John Patterson

L.A. Weekly

Laboring in the wide shadow of Almodvar and lacking much in the way of visual distinction, Unconscious compensates with its cast's full-tilt commitment to rip-snorting farce.

It's beautiful, it's funny, it's clever, it's engaging. I loved it. (The synopsis below, though, is incorrect and isn't for this film).

I saw this film twice, and twice I don't get the fuss. Leonor Watling is so distractingly gorgeous as a pregnant woman there's no way one can pay attention to anything else. Luis Tosar is neither charming nor funny. Actually, that goes for all the characters. The suspense and pursuit of the truth seems such a boring drag. The story is divided into several chapters each unrelated to another and they all contribute to nothing but the obscenity in the hope of making it funny. Since when does one become Freudian simply by ridiculing sexuality, adultery and incest? There are at least 5 occasions when the penis size is the source of the so-called humour.... This is nothing but a Carry-On (which are immensely sillier and funnier) film in disguise.

This is one of my favorite foreign films. Check it out if you like amelie, and films with comedic quirks, but heartfelt tone.

Great Movie from Spain. Period Piece 1910s but with a Freudian intellectual sexual twist. Really its kind of a psychiatric literary murder mystery (who done it) with a missing person included. Very witty and comic. Certainly one of the best (if not the best) movie of 2004. I cannot find when it was released. Netflix says 2004 Rt says 2007. Not nominated for anything I know of but should have been. Plot is good and fast paced. ending you would never guess. fantastic cinematography. Clever Witty Comic Original. very good movie four stars maybe five. highly recommended.
