Leave your thoughts about Amnesiac.
| Blu-ray.comBrian OrndorfRetains a clear position for mystery and askew intimidation, boosted by competent lead performances from Bosworth (in a refreshing change of pace) and Bentley. |
| The A.V. ClubKatie RifeThe film uses minimal locations, minimal cast, and minimal blood for a story that, in another director’s hands, could play like Grand Guignol. But this sense of restraint — which, combined with some stylish choices on Polish’s part, can be quite elegant — is also what makes it largely forgettable. |
| Eye for FilmJennie KermodeAlthough it overplays its hand, Unconscious remains an interesting little film with a lot of promise. |
| Los Angeles TimesRobert AbeleWith no names given to the characters, you never have to remember them. But it's really best to forget about all of Amnesiac. |
| About.comMark H. HarrisThe journey in Amnesic is still too pedestrian to be memorable. |
| Cinemalogue.comTodd Jorgenson... feels too deliberate and calculated, as though it's a short-film concept stretched to feature length. |
| Slant MagazineNick PriggeIts concern for the reclamation of identity is less important than the dull approximation of The Others' stark haunted-house atmospherics. |
| L.A. WeeklyRob StaegerThe plot develops confidently (if unsurprisingly), abetted by coincidence and shoddy police work, but it's the tone that grates. |
| VarietyDennis HarveyHelmer Michael Polish and his spouse-star, Kate Bosworth, were reportedly attracted to the project for the change-of-pace role it afforded her. But even beyond its sketchy screenplay, the pic’s main problem is that Bosworth lacks the villainous authority required to make Mike Le and Amy Kolquist’s tricky if undercooked screenplay work. |
| RogerEbert.comBrian TallericoMuch like “Self/Less,” Amnesiac feels like a director-for-hire gig for an artist too talented for the job. |
