Sandra Hall Sydney Morning Herald It's a clever film. And for all Soderbergh's reservations about Hollywood, it's also confirmation of his mastery of its assorted genres, although he does suffer from an urge to see if he can juggle them all at the same time. Rated: 3.5/5 Apr 27, 2018 Full Review David Stratton The Australian Yes, Unsane is rather silly - but thriller lovers can have fun with it. Rated: 3.5/5 Apr 20, 2018 Full Review Donald Clarke Irish Times Like too many of his looser films, Unsane could have profited from a bit more polishing. The film about the false imprisonment is terrific. The other film is really not very good at all. That will have to do for now. That will have to do for now. Rated: 3/5 Apr 2, 2018 Full Review Brendan Cassidy InSession Film And yet, even as I can accept Unsane more easily as schlock, it still so far from perfect that it's actually quite frustrating... Rated: B- Jul 2, 2024 Full Review Brian Eggert Deep Focus Review Soderberg's manipulation of his audience is masterful, and his formal choices have a throwback appeal, curiously enough, leaving Unsane to feel like a late-night VHS screening of a cheap but memorable horror show. Rated: 3.5/4 Mar 14, 2022 Full Review Taylor Baker Drink in the Movies Episode 24: Favorite Films of 2018: Part 1 Rated: 92/100 Sep 5, 2021 Full Review Read all reviews

debs r What a brilliant movie, whoever doesn't get it doesn't get it Rated 5 out of 5 stars 10/03/24 Full Review Corey K Self-contained but a lot is done without much. Great stalker flick Rated 4 out of 5 stars 07/12/24 Full Review Jose Raul B It was interesting to see someone kept almost as prisoner because of a insurance scam, but in the other hand knowing this person was really dangerous. She was obsessed and almost killed someone by the end of the film. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 05/04/24 Full Review Dani G Ultra-low budget well accomplished film. Not fancy, not spectacular, not a very striking cast, but a good experiment by the filmmaker Rated 2 out of 5 stars 02/26/24 Full Review Logan D To escape a stalker, Sawyer moves to Pennsylvania and works in an office complex. A therapist advises her to sign up for a 24 hour evaluation which results in Sawyer giving away her rights to leave for a week. Or did she sign in knowingly? Soon, she is questioning her own sanity. The film has issues but I enjoyed it. I can't list them as that might ruin the movie. Suffice to say I found at least two major plot points hard to accept. That said, Foy is great in causing us, the audience, to question her sanity with her character. I thought Pharoah was out of place. He removed me from the narrative when he was on screen. I didn't even realize Violet was Juno Temple! There is a cameo I didn't expect. Shot on an iPhone Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 12/02/23 Full Review Soujanya D This movie being shot on iPhone is the not the single best thing of this movie. From the very beginning an unsettling and eerie environment is presented to us. As the movie progresses i began to doubt the main character. But man was i wrong. This movie is a reflection on society as how health care has become a scam these days. And how unsafe it is for anyone to be out in the world as well. U might become the interest of a stranger in seconds. The movie's ending was both alarming and sad. I do recommend everyone reading this comment to watch this movie without going through the plot on Wikipedia. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 08/22/23 Full Review Read all reviews
