Una (2016)

Option 1Can't Watch?

Wait 30secs. Movie still not playing? Click the "Can't Watch?" tab.

If the movie didn't load, it means you are being blocked by a security service we use. This can happen for a number of reasons.

Click this first

A new tab will open and a basic security check like a captcha will be performed. After completing the check, close that page and return here.

Refresh this page. Wait 30 secs. The movie should load and you can just hit play.



If it still doesn't play, Click here to watch the movie

The movie should now start playing in a new tab of your browser or begin downloading to your device. This option has the minor disadvantage that English-language movies with optional subtitles in the movie player will not include these subs with this method.

The new system here has been designed keeping in mind even people with low internet speeds sub-8mbps. Even if you have a really bad connection, you should still be able to watch the movie without any issues if you:
Start the movie. Pause it. Wait for 30-45 seconds. Start playing again.

This 'Can't Watch' method really only works if it's your specific device/browser that's interfering with the player. There is no real advantage of speed here. Or if there is a temp network glitch or read lag from the server disk.

If you're still having problems, try using 'Incognito mode' in your browser. On iPhones, especially older ones, use Chrome instead of Safari. Might help.

IMPORTANT: Please make sure that the newly opened tab is not an ad popup asking you to download some software or whatever. Close any such popups and don't download any software - those are ads. Nothing is needed to be done by you other than to complete the security check which is often automated.

AKA:
Directed by: Benedict Andrews
Starring: Rooney Mara (Una), Ben Mendelsohn (Ray/Peter), Ruby Stokes (Young Una), Riz Ahmed (Scott), Tara Fitzgerald (Mother)
Country: UK
Language: English (Optional English subs)
Runtime: 01:34:18
Genres: Old-Young Relationships, Teen-Childhood, Based on a True Story

Plot – Spoilers:
28-year-old Una lives with her sickly mother. While their relationship appears strained and even on edge, Una is meekish in her mother’s presence and tries to spend as much time outside home as her guilt will allow her to.

She sees the photo of a much older man Ray in a magazine and this brings back memories from when she was 13-years-old and in a three-month-long abusive relationship with him.

Una decides to turn up at his factory floor where he’s now a manager under a new name and confront him about their past. Her questions and emotions are complex and they bit-by-bit construct the extent of her abuser’s role and influence.

This is vaguely based on a true story in the sense that the film’s origin lies in a play, which in turn was loosely inspired by convicted sex offender Toby Studebaker.

A good film with an interesting story. It may have been inspired by the Toby Studebaker case but other than the fact that Ray/Peter screwed a minor, the two stories have almost nothing in common. Toby Studebaker was in prison for almost 15 years instead of the 4 years Ray/Peter received. The ending had lots of possibilities but the one they choose was probably the least inspiring or gripping. It did leave the door wide open for “Una Part Two.” 3 stars.

Another good production from the UK. A striking resemblance between mother and daughter and at least she walked away with some answers and more informed.

Clinquant performances from Rooney and Ben. I resonate consequentially with ‘Una’, having experienced such similarly myself whilst attending Melbourne Girls Grammar in my adolescent years. I have seen this coruscating film on a plethora of occasions, it never fails to convoke my melancholia and profound discomfiture… I was so young and jejune.

Effed up subject, but it doesn’t show anything effed up.. there’s more old-young relationship in Stephen King’s Gerald’s Game than in this one

Too bad they can’t make these kinds of movies well done

4/10

unbelievably well acted by the two main characters. It seems like he has learned his lesson, and all she needed is a true boyfriend in the end. A very descent effedup film courtesy of EUM.

A sex offender gets out of a jail, he is allowed to change his name and despite the criminal background he becomes a floor manager? Is it a science fiction movie?

Liked the story. Really hate that their relationship is still there. He took advantage of a very young, naive girl and she should know that by now. Doesn’t matter if he was “in love with her” or not.

Hmmm. Good movie. But the ending… well, lets just say it was anticlimactic at best. It really left the whole thing hanging like a flaccid porn star. Other then that it’s another fine film from the good people at…. EFFFFFFFFED-UUUUUUUUUUUPPP-MOOOOOVIEEEEES!
