A stalking victim is involuntarily committed to a mental facility, where fear, paranoia and reality begin to violently blur.
No one believes Sawyer Valentini. After fleeing a stalker and trying to rebuild her life, she is involuntarily committed to a mental health facility - only to suspect her tormentor may be working inside. Shot entirely on an iPhone, Steven Soderbergh’s UNSANE is a tense, disorientating psychological thriller about fear, control and the terror of not being believed.
Rialto Recommends UNSANE is Steven Soderbergh at his most stripped-back and unsettling: a psychological thriller that turns disbelief into a prison. Shot on an iPhone, the film has a raw, claustrophobic immediacy, placing us inside Sawyer’s fear as control, sanity and power begin to blur. Tense, clever and deeply uncomfortable, it is a modern nightmare about being trapped, watched and not believed.
