  Review by davidehrlich ★★★ 9

  Claire Foy is like if someone went back in time and stopped Helena Bonham Carter from ever meeting Tim Burton and we are all blessed.

  don't have much else to say about UNSANE at the moment, beyond how frustrating it is to be reminded that Soderbergh's restless inventiveness (or inventive restlessness?) has found him resigning to a career of line-drive singles. sure, he's swinging for the fences every time he *releases* a movie, but not when he's actually making them.

  at this point its safe to assume matt damon shows up on random movie sets unprompted asking for cameos and no one can get rid of him

  Review by Brian Formo ★★★★ 13

  A few personal things: In college, I overdosed on some drugs and while I was in the post charcoal haze, I was questioned about my emotional well-being and I remember drifting in and out of consciousness, answering the "do you have suicidal thoughts" question with an affirmative because, if we're all being honest, we all have. I had to sign some paperwork and by the time I fully came out of my adolescent post-drug near coma I asked when I was able to leave and I was told that I'd have a police escort and that I signed myself over to a mental hospital for monitoring. I was supposed to stay at the hospital for 24 hours but that ended…

  Turns out the real unsane thing... was the American health care system.

  Review by kársten ★★★ 4

  I’ve been laughing at how it cuts to the credits for like 5 minutes. Looked like something out of a student film lmfao.
  But aside from that yeah it’s alright. Big fan of how it was shot, especually considering how they did it. The dialogue was pretty awful and made the whole thing feel super corny and far from believable. I also feel like this movie was actually trying to say something significant but everything about it made me want to ignore that aspect and just concentrate on the thrill of it all. Just had a hard time distinguishing the “fun” from the message. Oh well, I was entertained but will be probably never watch it again.

  
  Also who the fuck is Matt Damon to tell me I can’t have anymore chardonnay nights with the ladies.

  Review by josh lewis ★★★★ 3

  a continuation of soderbergh's recession era anxieties—capitalism run amok in a modern, digital landscape of bodies and transactions—but given a horrifying genre/voyeur formal energy. seriously wow. genuinely surprised at how many of you think this looks bad because the fuzzy, deep depth-of-field of the iphone combined with that stilted framing/cutting and sudden camera movements had me sweating bullets start to finish. might have a bit too much on its mind to let loose into something truly primal or elemental (a la hooper/craven) but damn does its violent finale get close, and its refusal to let you leave the claustrophobic headspace even after the individual monsters have been conquered echoes the lasting psychological consequences of all the best final girls. who knew sodey had this in him?

  Review by matt lynch ★★★ 2

  Soderbergh wisely refuses to freight this with anything that might get in the way of a good snake pit movie but don't worry, there's still some good stuff about capitalism, health care, trauma and abuse, and multiple forms of consent (pun intended, you'll see). I'm not convinced the iPhone looks as good as he thinks it does, though, and the ending is sort of a dud.

  Review by Dan Ryckert ★★★½ 3

  "Unsane" is a really dumb title for a movie, but Steven Soderbergh filmed it on his iPhone and held it horizontally the entire time, so he did a good job.
