Kristin F Unpacking is a film that explores processing a range of relatable emotions. The movie eloquently captures how strangers become lifelines and vulnerability leads to unexpected connections.

Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 06/05/25 Full Review Louise M A refreshing and honest portrayal of five women on a Bali retreat that leads them into a journey of deeper self reflection than expected. Unpacking is an inspiring story of self love, friendship, courage and honesty. While it covers some heavy topics, the movie is scattered with many hilarious moments to lighten the mood. It is well written with excellent character development. The acting is beautiful, authentic and the production is top notch. I'd recommend Unpacking to anyone feeling lost on their own journey, and looking for perspective and inspiration in an entertaining flick! Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 06/04/25 Full Review Della T Relevant and relatable, this film is a fun and unexpected exploration of personalities that live in all of us. You’ll laugh, cry, nod/shake your head, and, ultimately, walk away a softer, yet stronger version of yourself through the individual journeys of these unique characters as they navigate thought-provoking and sometimes tempting situations set in the dreamy Bali landscape. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 06/03/25 Full Review Jason S I caught this at a festival in New Jersey and I admit I was skeptical walking in, assuming it was a "chick flick." And while it's indeed a film by and about women, it's SO much deeper than that genre implies. It's insightful, engaging, honest, intense, LOL-funny, and very well-written. A lot of this is thanks to the cast, an ensemble with no weak links. That it was a labor of love, produced on half a shoestring, makes it that much more impressive because it doesn't feel small or cheap, no celebs or CGI needed. (Hollywood should take notes!) Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 06/03/25 Full Review Lateef C "Unpacking" beautifully delves into the messy lives of women at a Bali wellness retreat, anchored by compelling performances and naturalistic character dynamics. The genuine sisterly bond between Charlotte and Ruby is a highlight, and the film thoughtfully explores the complexities of sibling relationships. While it grapples with the ethics of wellness tourism with mixed success and occasionally over-explains character epiphanies, the ensemble cast shines, particularly in the unexpected bonds forged. A visually engaging and emotionally resonant film, "Unpacking" is a promising effort from talented indie filmmakers.
