Critic Reviews

Empire Patrick Peters

It may lack subtlety, but everything is beautifully designed and photographed, Watling and Tosar are superb and it's undeniably great fun. Read full review

Kevin Thomas

Unconscious is a ribald sex farce of considerable imagination and inspired wackiness and a meticulous period piece of the Art Nouveau era. Read full review

Stephen Holden

If Unconscious consistently overplays its hand, its fusion of a Sherlock Holmes-style detective story (Alma is the master sleuth, and Salvador her Dr. Watson) with a delirious bedroom farce in the spirit of early Pedro Almodóvar is frequently very funny. Read full review

Jennifer Drapkin

The movie's message is clear: Freud's greatest contribution to society was not the idea that all little boys long to sleep with their mothers--rather, it's the concept of the unconscious, a hidden place where our secret desires yearn to be free. Read full review

Stina Chyn

A brilliant exploration into the implications of Freud’s theories on one family. Read full review

Tasha Robinson

While the content is colorful and the actors seem up for the task, a flawed script and Oristrell's unemphatic direction let all the impact dribble away. Read full review

V.A. Musetto

An overdone sex comedy. Read full review

Charming, offbeat comedy, with appealing performances by its 2 leads.
