Review of Complete Unknown (2016)

By Kenneth Turan (2,323) for Los Angeles Times (12,977) on 31 Aug 2016

An intriguing entertainment that’s invigorated by smart filmmaking and potent acting by the virtuosic Weisz and her fine costar, Michael Shannon…

Review of Complete Unknown (2016)

By Frederic And Mary Ann Brussat (3,072) for Spirituality and Practice (3,072) on 30 Aug 2016

A thought-provoking drama about a woman who has spent 15 years assuming different personalities…

Review of Complete Unknown (2016)

By Tasha Robinson (753) for The Verge (432) on 28 Aug 2016

The film never comes up with a mission statement or a message that might tie together its wandering scenes, or explain its vague melancholy…

Review of Complete Unknown (2016)

By Glenn Kenny (1,728) for RogerEbert.com (5,563) on 25 Aug 2016

The movie does pretty well as a treatment of identity and selfhood in a social landscape that grows increasingly alienating as it becomes more…

Review of Complete Unknown (2016)

By Joey Nolfi (24) for Entertainment Weekly (6,953) on 24 Aug 2016

Complete Unknown is perhaps most titillating when it quietly observes moments between its central duo, two long-lost lovers hurling nearly…

Review of Complete Unknown (2016)

By Andy Webster (339) for New York Times (5,786) on 24 Aug 2016

Complete Unknown is a curious hybrid, teetering between a thriller and a romance only to land in a nebulous spot that is neither…

Review of Complete Unknown (2016)

By Travis Hopson (923) for Punch Drunk Critics (518) on 24 Aug 2016

Ironically, for a movie that's all about identity Complete Unknown fails to develop one that is worth getting invested in…

Review of Complete Unknown (2016)

By Laura Clifford (2,742) for Reeling Reviews (4,376) on 24 Aug 2016

Weisz and Shannon are two fine actors, so it is a pleasure to watch them, but Marston works too hard to make his marginal point…

Review of Complete Unknown (2016)

By Ella Taylor (978) for NPR (1,713) on 24 Aug 2016

Like Alice, the film seems to be making itself up as it goes along, which would be fine with a less expository script than the one Marston…

Review of Complete Unknown (2016)

By Mike D'angelo (730) for The A.V. Club (5,644) on 23 Aug 2016

It’s as if a first-rate Roman Polanski movie suddenly metamorphosed (ohhh, frogs, duh) into a third-rate Michael Crichton adaptation…

Review of Complete Unknown (2016)

By Edward Douglas (1,395) for New York Daily News (5,623) on 23 Aug 2016

It's more than a little ironic that a film called Complete Unknown will leave you scratching your head about what you just watched…

Review of Complete Unknown (2016)

By Abbey Bender (99) for Village Voice (8,525) on 23 Aug 2016

While [Rachel Weisz] is a compelling performer, the film is ultimately a Hitchcock-inspired thriller without too many real thrills…

Review of Complete Unknown (2016)

By David Ehrlich (1,229) for Indiewire (3,631) on 22 Aug 2016

The film’s best moments are hollow and derivative, as borrowed from better fictions as any of the names that Alice takes for herself…

Review of Complete Unknown (2016)

By John Defore (1,351) for Hollywood Reporter (2,966) on 21 Aug 2016

The movie's structure is peculiar, laying out a mystery and solving it early on, then spending half the film making us wonder how satisfying…

Review of Complete Unknown (2016)

By Matt Donato (975) for We Got This Covered (2,391) on 21 Aug 2016

Complete Unknown is a weird rom-dram made up of characters we can barely tolerate, fighting tepidly for a message of positive growth - I think…

Review of Complete Unknown (2016)

By Chuck Bowen (756) for Slant Magazine (8,298) on 21 Aug 2016

Underneath the impersonal formal beauty and good acting is a familiar moral about self-imposed limitations…

Review of Complete Unknown (2016)

By Dan Mecca (208) for The Film Stage (3,162) on 19 Feb 2016

Armed with two top-notch leads and a compelling premise, Joshua Marston‘s third feature, Complete Unknown, spends a lot of time hinting at…

Review of Complete Unknown (2016)

By Tim Grierson (1,482) for Paste Magazine (2,906) on 04 Feb 2016

Alice is someone who's unwise to fall in love with. But Weisz makes it clear why such a person, so volatile and untethered, is so damn hard to resist…

Review of Complete Unknown (2016)

By Noel Murray (1,901) for The Playlist (3,871) on 29 Jan 2016

Marston and Sheppard have come up with a terrific premise, and have worked it into an often highly entertaining movie…

Review of Complete Unknown (2016)

By Chris Bumbray (988) for JoBlo's Movie Emporium (1,959) on 28 Jan 2016

Doesn't deliver on the promising premise…
