Review of Unsane (2018) by Compi24 — 24 Mar 2018

IPhone aesthetics and docu-drama feel aside, it's the central story and characters within Steven Soderbergh's "Unsane" that makes it as engrossing and as fascinating as it is. Sure, the aesthetics help add an air of authenticity to the film as our protagonist makes her way down the proverbial rabbit hole and into the dark annals of modern psychiatric healthcare.

But the story at hand here does so much. From creating such a terrifyingly aseptic, yet amoral world, to bridging the gap between the drama, thriller, and horror film genres, there's a lot to commend on the narrative front.

Major props also go to cast members Claire Foy, Joshua Leonard, and Jay Pharoah for facilitating such an unsettling project to fruition.
