UNSANE (15)

Claire Foy (Breathe), Joshua Leonard (If I Stay), Jay Pharoah (Top Five), Juno Temple (Killer Joe), Aimee Mullins (Appropriate Behaviour), Amy Irving (Traffic), Polly McKie (film debut)

WHO’S BEHIND THE CAMERA?

Steven Soderbergh (Side Effects), director, cinematographer, editor; Jonathan Bernstein (The Spy Next Door) and James Greer (Larry the Cable Guy: Health Inspector), writers; Joseph Malloch (Paint It Black), producer

WHAT’S IT ABOUT?

A young woman (Foy) is involuntarily committed to a mental institution where she is confronted by her greatest fear, although she is not sure if it is real or part of her delusion…

IN ONE SENTENCE, WHY SHOULD YOU BE EXCITED?

Shot in secret, and entirely on an iPhone, Steven Soderbergh’s latest experimental film is also a seriously freaky and unnerving psychological thriller that will make you squirm in your seat.

WHEN’S IT OUT?
