Unpacking is a thoughtful and self-aware indie that captures both the absurdity and sincerity of the quest for personal growth.

About Boulder

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.

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...

Rated: 4/5

The film’s structure is thoughtful, especially the soundtrack, and, for the most part, its characters are believable.

Unpacking is an interesting exploration of change with strong performances that beautifully uses its location. Unpacking asks important questions of its cast of characters and explores issues from multiple sides, showing different viewpoints with tact.

I really enjoyed Unpacking. A story about women soul-searching in paradise is familiar ground, but this film felt relatable and fresh. It was equal parts hilarious and touching. A true coming-of-age story for Millennials in their 30-something year old lives. Brilliant acting and direction!

Unpacking is equal parts sweet, sharply funny and poignant. A bright light of a film we need during dark times that honors female friendship and community in a way I have rarely seen caught on film! Kudos to the filmmakers, who really made a unique, important film that anyone will enjoy!

Relatable, Fresh, Honest - Must see for anyone going through change, uncertainty, and growth. A novel look at facing change and the truth. This film pulls back the curtain on what it's like to be looking for something inside yourself and entering an uncharted life chapter. With others who are doing the same thing. In Bali. On a spiritual retreat.

Rated 5 out of 5 stars

As a 30-something woman, I deeply relate to so many of the issues brought up in this film, and I appreciated how direct & authentic the script brought out real life scenarios. I also found it so endearing and comedic - awkward and silly in some parts, and hilariously accurate to the less than perfect moments we all face in life. All emotions wrapped up into an hour and a half. Great acting, and I loved the soundtrack! I was lucky enough to see this on the big screen for their world premiere showing! I look forward to seeing these faces and names in future features - and I wish the whole team, cast & crew, wildly successful careers in the film industry!!
