Leave your thoughts about Una.
| Film Comment MagazineMichael SragowThe two actors' timing is marvelous. They salvage the force of the play's splintered dialogue. |
| Film InquiryKristy StrouseThis is a necessary, albeit uncomfortable watch with harrowing performances. |
| LimelightLynden Barber[Rooney] Mara, always a very contained actor, emphasises the edgily unpredictable in Una. |
| FILMINK (Australia)Lochley ShaddockThe ebb and flow of power throughout this film is part of its brilliant dynamic. |
| The PlaylistGregory EllwoodFor a feature debut, Una is bursting with exceptional confidence and style. The aesthetic is Jonathan Glazer meets Andrea Arnold and it assures that some of the script’s more staged scenes hold your attention. |
| The Film StageChristopher SchobertFor Rooney Mara, it’s a new high, giving a performance that can only be described as extraordinary, and she makes Una a sharp, discomforting stunner. |
| Entertainment WeeklyLeah GreenblattUna’s raw, deeply discomfiting dance between obsession and exploitation isn’t easy to watch by any metric; they make it hard to look away. |
| Toronto StarBruce DemaraThis is a film that could easily divide opinion along gender lines. What everyone will agree on is that it raises troubling but important questions. |
| Georgia StraightKen EisnerThanks to Rooney's iffy British accent, murkily recorded voices, and the wasted talents (and subplots) of the supporting players, it's harder than ever to deduce the tale's real intentions. |
| Screen InternationalGraham FullerMendelsohn makes Ray plausibly remorseful, yet the suspicion remains that he’s as creepily self-serving as Humbert Humbert in Nabokov’s Lolita. Mara, meanwhile, is like a seared, broken Alice groping for a way out of a psychic labyrinth - hers is a fearsome performance. |
