Critic Reviews of "Unrest"
Los Angeles TimesOctober 02, 2017It's a film that's remarkably intimate, deeply edifying and a stirring call to action.
Chicago ReaderSeptember 28, 2017Director Jennifer Brea has ME herself, and she structures the film around footage from her own video diaries; these excerpts personalize the medical lesson and give the film an emotional core.
RogerEbert.comSeptember 22, 2017This is jaw-dropping stuff, made more profoundly disturbing by the fact that so little is known about the disease.
New York TimesSeptember 21, 2017It powerfully insists on giving a voice to victims whose greatest challenge, apart from their symptoms, is surmounting a world of indifference.
indieWireJanuary 27, 2017The movie delivers a striking degree of emotional authenticity with its home footage, allowing it to become more about its central couple's resilience than the hardships that tests their bond.
Hollywood ReporterJanuary 24, 2017Using her own experience with the syndrome as a springboard, Brea offers an affecting film that, when made available on video, will be embraced by the millions suffering CFS worldwide.
Eye for FilmOctober 10, 2017This isn't just a film to inform those who are lucky enough to know very little about ME, it also serves as a love letter of understanding for those who have it and a call to arms for everyone.
San Francisco ExaminerSeptember 29, 2017As often happens with video diaries, the film is limited in scope. But it is still an engrossing and important documentary that convincingly demonstrates that ME is real and gives voice to people whose homebound condition makes them largely invisible.
SF WeeklySeptember 28, 2017Brea shot much of the film on her iPhone, which often gives it the tone of a found-footage horror film. Making it all the more horrifying is the fact that not only is it real, but it's while Brea is unable to stand up or often even move beyond crawling.
CompuserveSeptember 16, 2017Brea offers a surprisingly energetic look at chronic fatigue syndrome, which has derailed her life.
Georgia StraightMay 05, 2017The film is both a chronicle of how the illness devastates lives (as Brea puts it, it was as if she died but was forced to watch the world move on) and a cold-case mystery.
Austin American-StatesmanMarch 13, 2017Fraught with honesty, Unrest gives us a raw and up-close look at how a chronic illness can impact a relationship.
