西山乃利子／UNREAL

About This Movie

So, UNREAL from 2022 is this intriguing piece that feels like it straddles the line between reality and something else, you know? The tone is a bit surreal, and it really plays with your perception. The pacing has this dreamlike quality—sometimes slow, sometimes jarring. It tackles themes of identity and illusion, and the practical effects have this raw, almost tangible feel that adds to its uniqueness. The performances are a mixed bag, but there’s something compelling about how the actors navigate this disorienting world. It’s not your typical fare, but that’s what makes it stand out among the other releases of the year.

UNREAL has had a bit of a quiet life since its release, and I find that intriguing. It hasn’t made waves in major markets, so it’s still somewhat under the radar, which could make it appealing to collectors looking for something unique. With no known special editions yet, it’s mostly available in standard formats, but the limited awareness could spark interest over time as more collectors discover its distinctive nature.
