Much to my surprise, this might be my favorite Soderbergh movie. It's certainly one of my favorite thrillers. I was literally shivering about halfway through the movie until the very end, which was about as disturbing — and timely — an ending as there could be for this film.Indeed, Unsane is extremely timely. Not to mention absorbing.I began viewing it because I was curious about the iPhone cinematography, intending to glance at a few mins, then perhaps watch it all another night. But I was almost immediately paralyzed with interest, as I became utterly absorbed in the story and in the main character played by the truly remarkable Claire Foy.I highly recommend Soderbergh's (and Foy's) Unsane to anyone who wants to watch a highly intelligent, socially- and politically-conscious movie which doesn't fit easily into any genre category. At different points, the film is a drama, a mystery, a thriller, and a horror movie. It even ventures into dark, almost-comedic, satire territory during Matt Damon's cameo. (I'd like to say his performance is over the top, but I fear — my friend, fear — that there are people out there just like his character, performing just that service.)If one has paid attention to news over the past couple years, one will recognize that the movie very is timely in regard to two different concerns — two different problems which have received national news coverage. To say much more might spoil things. But if you pay attention very very early in the movie, you'll get a hint about one of the things the movie (ie- Soderbergh, Foy, et al) is concerned about. And, the closing scene reinforces this particular concern in the strongest, and most empathetic way possible.
