- 83The Film StageRory O'ConnorThe Film StageRory O'ConnorWhat first appeared to be a fun riff on One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest soon transforms into something much darker.
- 75Slant MagazineSteve MacfarlaneSlant MagazineSteve MacfarlaneEven Unsane's most ridiculous moments coast on the sheer energy of Steven Soderbergh's aesthetic gamesmanship.
- 67The PlaylistJessica KiangThe PlaylistJessica KiangTopicality is not mandatory, and it’s clear the agenda here is for salacious genre thrills rather than anything deeper or more profound, but when the film’s form is such an embrace of modernity, it feels like cognitive dissonance to have the story skew so old-fashioned.
- 60CineVuePatrick GambleCineVuePatrick GambleAn adroit, and trashy thriller leached of all its significance by a plot that spirals uncontrollably into lunacy, Unsane takes the feverish temperature of a country enraged by sexual harassment and decides to turn up the heat.
- 50Screen DailyJonathan RomneyScreen DailyJonathan RomneyAdmirers of Soderbergh’s experimental tendency will applaud the film’s execution – it was shot on the iPhone 7 Plus – while this story of a tenacious woman fighting all odds should have added appeal in this #MeToo moment. For a mainstream genre piece, however, the narrative execution is a little too cavalier to guarantee audience satisfaction.
- The absurdity and the galaxy of plot holes in the farcical final act just undermine everything.
- 40The Hollywood ReporterDavid RooneyThe Hollywood ReporterDavid RooneyUnsane is a dispiritingly pedestrian woman-in-peril shocker to have come from such a maverick filmmaker.
