Unsane

Steven Soderbergh (2018)

Claire Foy, Joshua Leonard Rated 15 Run time 98 mins

Claire Foy (The Queen in The Crown) plays a very different role as Sawyer Valentini a woman followed by David Strine (Leonard) a stalker. The young woman is involuntarily committed to a mental institution where she is confronted by her greatest fear–but is it real or is it a product of her delusion? Filmed by Soderbergh on an iPhone this has an immediate visual style that allows little room for traditional acting. Foy rises to the challenge with a complex, daring performance. It will keep you on the edge of your seat!

80% – Rotten Tomatoes

“Cinematic master Steven Soderbergh generates tension here without resorting to the usual jumping-out-of-cupboards”

“A raw, lean and abrasively effective thriller from Steven Soderbergh, which features Claire Foy as we’ve never seen her before.”
