Carmen Paddock Movies We Texted About Nov 11
Unpacking is a breezy dramedy fitting perfectly into the entertainment zeitgeist and showcasing an ultra-microbudget way of filmmaking. Those looking for a fix before The White Lotus returns will not find better entertainment. Go to Full Review

3/5
As the sincere beats of the story shine infinitely brighter than the feeble attempts to satirize and critique, Unpacking only works well as a compelling examination of female pain and trauma that is completely removed from the male gaze. Go to Full Review

Unpacking is a thoughtful and self-aware indie that captures both the absurdity and sincerity of the quest for personal growth. Go to Full Review
Tim Brennan About Boulder Sep 1
While a lesser screenplay would reduce the characters to cliches, this script drills down into real, three dimensional characterization. We see why these women have come to the retreat, what they think of each other, and what they think of themselves. Go to Full Review

4/5
Unpacking is a comedy, but not of the silly variety; it’s observational, it’s rude and sensitive and also funny…there’s every chance that this deft, acerbic film might just spring the indie trap and actually find an appreciative audience on streaming... Go to Full Review

Louise V @LouiseVala Dec 3 I really loved Unpacking. The writing is sharp, the themes land, and the comedy is on point - it’s heartfelt without ever getting too heavy-handed. It feels incredibly grounded and observant. I especially loved Jackie (Jessica Rotondi) - every time she showed up, she genuinely made me laugh. The talent of the actors really shines through across the ensemble, with so many small moments adding up to a rich, funny, and honest world. Overall, it’s one of those films that sticks with you after, both for what it’s saying and how honestly (and humorously) it says it. See more Ray d @raydemesa Nov 23 There are so many great moments that pull you into these characters’ lives. And what I loved the most is how the film shows us how our families can be just as mysterious as strangers. I loved how this film came together. This is what independent filmmaking is all about. See more Nastasia G Nov 7 Unpacking is a thoughtful dramedy that allows its women to be as messy as they are heartfelt all the while remembering to laugh along the way. See more Mitchell M Nov 6 A heartfelt, feel-good film! Though Unpacking centers around trauma and broken relationships it is as much playful and is absolutely hilarious. Fantastic performances, directing, and writing. It's clear that a lot of passion went into the making. See more Jackie E Nov 5 This is a stunning and powerful film that centers female relationships in an authentic and engaging way. Visually it’s gorgeous, and I love how Bali plays its own character in a way. It’s wonderful to watch a film that focuses on female friendships and dynamics and is so well acted! I felt connected to the characters and definitely laughed and cried. Very touching and makes us look within and examine how the wellness culture can be exploitative and involve cultural appropriation…. Don’t want to give more away but you should watch it! See more Kate H Nov 5 Unpacking is an honest and raw indie film whose story unfolds with natural emotional depth from the ensemble of women. The authenticity and intimacy captured by the characters and their relationships invites the audience to reflect on the parts of us we choose to carry with us and of those we’re learning to let go of.
