When most people think of actor Matt Damon, they could imagine him as Jason Bourne of “The Bourne Identity” and his consequences, or perhaps as the holder of the tremendous crime thriller “The talented M. Ripley”. They could even think of him in the form of puppets (expressed by Trey Parker) of Parker and “Team America: World Police” by Parker and Matt Stone. They probably born Think of his little role in Steven Soderbergh’s experimental horror film “Usane”, but they should honestly, because “Unanne” is an incredible gem that deserves more appreciation. Of course, Damon was in a ton of great films, but was one of them filmed entirely on an iPhone?
“Unanne” tends to be a little polarizing, with certain criticisms and public who absolutely panicked it (including / own criticism of the film), but the perspective of the spectator is everything with this one because his horror is so deeply specific and personal. The film follows a young woman by the name of Sawyer Valentini (Claire Foy), who is on the run of a harasser and is led to engage in a behavioral health establishment, where people are more and more willing to believe it. The film puts us in the place of Claire, but also sometimes wonders if its version of the events is correct, which in fact of great elements of horror and represent what it is to doubt your own reality. “Unanne” may not be a traditional horror film, but it captures very precisely what it is to be a woman in America.
Damon briefly appears in an Insan to a detective
After Sawyer engaged in the behavioral health center against his will, we see flashbacks on his history with his harasser David (Joshua Leonard), who frightened him so much that she withdrew an order for non-evolution over him. Here, Damon appears as the detective Ferguson, who advises Sawyer on how to stay safe and avoid David. Unfortunately, the system that is supposed to protect it works rather against it. Damon is one of the only really friendly faces of “unan” because Sawyer is ignored by most of the other people who could possibly help him, although he is too briefly in the film and that Sawyer is mainly alone.
As a horror film on mental health, “Unanne” works because it does an excellent job to balance the doubt of Sawyer with the doubts of the public as to its reliability as a narrator. But where it really shines, this is an example of what it can feel to sail in the world as a woman in certain situations, especially when they deal with harassors and personal well-being. Although “Unan” did not work for everyone, it was almost too struck by my home as a hunt victim.
Unsey is a terrifying look at what it is to be a woman
When I had a stalker at the university, I reported it to the own authorities and I was essentially ignored unless I was ready to “have a meeting” with my harasser, who was known to be violent. I spent my last year watching over my shoulder, and he ended up going through other students without repercussions. There is nothing like being terrified and not being taken seriously, and that honestly makes reasons why so many crimes of this nature are not reported. Many women have gotten used to not being taken seriously, whether by law enforcement or health professionals, and it is really impressive to see how Soderbergh has been able to translate what it looks like the screen.
Like “The Invisible Man” by Leigh Whannell, the horror of “unanne” is not necessarily fair to the immediate danger of a single violent man, but the way they (and the world) can make someone doubt their own mental health. It can be very insulating when the systems that are supposed to protect and help someone end up being useless or worse, and that “unseat” nails that the horror claustrophobic and gnawing too well.
