Synopsis

Una (2017) is a psychological drama-thriller you can watch online on iFILM. Director Benedict Andrews adapts David Harrower's stage play Blackbird, with Rooney Mara and Ben Mendelsohn in the central roles.

Una was thirteen when an adult man named Ray entered her life. Fifteen years later she spots his photo in a magazine and tracks him down at his workplace. The confrontation that follows circles around memory: what she says happened, what he says happened, and the gap between those two accounts. Riz Ahmed appears in flashback sequences as the younger Ray. The film barely leaves its single location — a warehouse corridor, a break room — and barely needs to.

Rooney Mara's performance is the spine of the film. Una arrives fragile and leaves the audience uncertain whether she got anything she came for, which is exactly the point. For viewers who find most thriller plots too mechanical, Una is a different kind of tense — the kind that lives in unfinished sentences. Stream Una online on iFILM.
