Review of Una

Una (2016)
3/10
Awful subject - Pedophile Redemption film. Pretty sick.
31 July 2017
Warning: Spoilers
The film itself was pretty dull and low budget except for the exceptional acting but the truth of the matter is WHY would any sick director or film person want to make a film about a guilty Pedophile that gets a visit from his victim as an adult.

The film not only blatantly tries to portray the Pedophile as having true love feelings for his child victim and it is unforgivable. No art or slice of life in this movie but a sick mind. Maybe the director thought converting this sick idea into a movie from a play is worthwhile.

Honestly I agree with others that at least if the Pedophile did not violate her sexually it would have played better, even if supposedly she consented it is just an inappropriate message to send out to the world. There is no excuse for this type of story.

I guess if a child that was molested by a Pedophile wants some redemption perhaps this movie might provide some solace yet maybe not.

I left the film pretty disgusted that this poor victim was messed up for life - pretty messed up. And the ending of the Pedophile trying to make her feel special and that she was the only one 'he molested' or loved as he tries to state was just unfathomable and hard to believe.

Great acting but sick subject. So many great stories to tell in life and this is not one of them. What is next for this director.. to make a movie about Human torture and killing people or a Charlie Manson like character tries to provide solace to his victims families. Glad I was able to see it for free.

Kudos to Ben and Mara putting their names behind this pretty sick subject. Without them it would have been really lame. Hope the director picks a more appropriate subject next time

3 rating mostly for the acting as the rest of the directing was pretty basic like a student film all shot in a few locations with terrible music.
