Just "Meh". Interesting thematic, but failed development.

This is a slow unraveling burn with an unsatisfying ending but despite that it kept me engaged and each scene was nicely timed and never feeling rushed or overstretched. The movie most consists of only has 2 actors and 1 supporting main and they all were excellent. This movie excelled at showing the disturbing complexities in feelings and emotions that can result from a hunter prey relationship.

A good movie that is an uncomfortable watch at times. Mara & Mendelsohn are great in the lead roles.

This is a somewhat hard hitting film about a tough, fairly taboo subject - child abuse. Its sobering and perhaps thought provoking at times. It mainly concentrates on the victims side of the story - quite rightly so, although I suppose it inevitably leaves the viewer with unanswered questions. I felt aspects of the plot weren't fully developed which was a shame as for the most part, like I say it was quite hard hitting. The performances are quite good and so I'd say its worth a watch but it certainly isn't perfect either.

Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars

Rooney Mar and Ben Mendelsohn deliver strong performances in this disturbing and twisted film about sexual abuse.

I liked this movie because it was tightly written and held together, and the topic is brand new, no cliches that I can tell. I would like to see more movies which explore in depth relationships between men and women, of whatever nature. In thinking about the movie, there is one question I have about verisimilitude, and that is, from my own life experience, a female adolescent is not likely to actually have enjoyment from the full sex experience the first time she experiences it. In fact, I believe it would take a number of experiences to come to that. So the part where she said she felt so wonderful afterward did not ring true to me at all. Only one other critique I have is that the movie was too short for a movie. I would have liked seeing more of the actors, even though it ended at its natural end.

Katie Walsh

Los Angeles Times

It's at once talky yet emotionally remote, and while posing a risky set of questions about sexual abuse, power and relationships, the experience is an unsatisfactory and draining slog.

Times (UK)

It's a difficult film, and at times an ambiguous one. And appropriately so, because it's Una's film.

Rated: 4/5

Una is a film of seismic shocks built to make an audience squirm. Mission accomplished.

[Una] mostly succeeds, thanks to fine acting and a smart reconstruction of its source's setting.

In particular, Mendelsohn is a wonder to behold, moving from guilty to lovestruck to terrified.
