  Review by Charlie ★★★★½ 3

  At one point the main character comes up to Tom Hiddleston's character and, after watching him in tense silence, just goes "I'm so sorry, Tom." His character's name is Oakley.

  Sexual tension so powerful it breaks the fourth wall.

  “You belong somewhere. I will just be forever now on the periphery of things.”

  That’s it. That’s the fear.
  Whether you’re 15 or 55, that’s the fear.

  Review by Alice Stoehr ★★★

  The problem with vacations is that no matter how far you travel, it's still you taking the trip. Anna flees her marriage to visit with some old friends in the Italian countryside, insinuating herself into their family's dynamics. She swims, sees the sights, hangs out with their teenage kids. She tries to lose herself in the ultra-bourgeois chitchat, caught by Joanna Hogg in long takes full of overlapping dialogue and harsh sunlight. By the end of summer, though, she's still herself, still kind of miserable. She's gotten pretty trashed. She's endured a lot of embarrassment. She hasn't really found anything. Maybe next time she should make like Katharine Hepburn in Summertime: forgo Tuscany and take a solo holiday in Venice instead.

  Review by Will Steele ★★★

  By skill or selflessness, Joanna Hogg’s presence feels absent from Unrelated. As a director she disappears entirely. Her narrative unfolds without a hint of her authorship, yet everything within the frame is her design. This hands-off tactility is exercised rarely amongst filmmakers nowadays. The impulse to imprint upon a scene can quickly veer from indication to indulgence. Hogg knows better. She withdraws from the arena of combative emotions allowing her cast to weave their lives around one another. Their emotions ebb and flow like a lapping tide until eventually, inevitably, the breaking of the waves crash like thunder. This non-interventionist style of filmmaking is not only refreshing but immersive too. We the audience are swept away by an invisible stream and where it takes us each is an individual and private place.

  Review by Jesse Snoddon ★★★½

  We've seen plenty of movies about men having a midlife crisis, and so it is refreshing to see a rare example of a movie that highlights what the experience can feel like from a woman's perspective. The movie follows Anna (Kathryn Worth), who arrives for a vacation with friends, to their surprise, without her partner. We get glimpses into their relationship throughout through sporadic phone calls and can piece together that their relationship is in trouble and that her arriving by herself is part of it. But it also quickly becomes clear that there is a greater turmoil within her that comes with simply getting older. 

  The film explores this in an interesting way. Anna begins to gravitate toward the 'kids'…

  Review by Avery Edison ★★

  This review may contain spoilers. I can handle the truth.

  Fascinated by reviews and synopses around the web referring to the people in this film as “middle class” when they are clearly upper-class.
