The film is sustained effortlessly by the charismatic Watling and Tosar, who are among Spain's most popular movie stars.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Apr 12, 2007

The comedy is too broad, lacking the subtlety that the film's high-brow intentions require.

| Original Score: 2/4 | Feb 9, 2007

The Freudian farce Unconscious is paced so breathlessly that it keeps you panting to keep up with each new plot twist.

| Original Score: 4.5/5 | Feb 9, 2007

Even with nothing more redeeming than a lot of good one-liners, Unconscious has a charm that your ego, superego and id can all enjoy.

Are the Spanish the only ones these days able to make movie comedies that are smart, sexy, wacky and graceful all at once?

The movie's message is clear: Freud's greatest contribution to society was not the idea that all little boys long to sleep with their mothers -- rather, it's the concept of the unconscious, a hidden place where our secret desires yearn to be free.

The film is so opulently and noisily aestheticized it gives the illusion of being smarter than it is, though it benefits from some endearing performances.

| Original Score: 2/4 | Jan 24, 2007

[Director Joaquin] Oristrell's comedic sense only seems to succeed in spurts, and he often burdens the proceedings with a theatrical and contrived air that undermines the humor.

| Original Score: 2.5/4 | Dec 29, 2006

If necessary, just see it twice: Read it the first time, watch it the second.

Full Review | Original Score: 4/4 | Dec 7, 2006

Played to the hilt by an inspired cast, this may not be the most subtle comedy ever made, but it has an impudence and an energy that atones for its occasional resort to contrivance and cheap gags.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Oct 1, 2006

We should be thankful for the wit and style of Joaqun Oristrell's film.

| Sep 23, 2006

Unconscious is relentlessly wacky but robustly performed...

| Original Score: 3/5 | Sep 23, 2006

A well-observed, sideways portrait of the day, Unconscious is a little gem.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Sep 23, 2006

A distinctive, sharp-witted and good-looking period comedy.
