J. Hoberman The Nation The tranquility is accentuated by the soft murmur of voices, the sound of wind in the trees, and the natural-light cinematography. Unrest’s pastoral quality recalls mid-period Straub-Huillet films... Jun 21, 2023 Full Review Michael Rechtshaffen Los Angeles Times A meticulous and mischievous unconventional first feature by Cyril Schaublin. May 19, 2023 Full Review Monica Castillo RogerEbert.com “Unrest” is an intriguing period piece, but a flawed curio that never quite achieves its soul-stirring goals. Rated: 1.5/4 May 5, 2023 Full Review Lee Jutton Film Inquiry If you aren’t already disenchanted with capitalism and the way it sucks people dry, working them to exhaustion so that they have no time for what brings them genuine happiness, then Unrest is here to help. May 20, 2023 Full Review Lisa Wong Macabasco Vogue This delightfully subversive little film is ostensibly a snapshot of the village’s daily life, but it provokes contemplation of nothing less than the very nature of structured time and ruthless capitalism. May 12, 2023 Full Review Michael Sicinski In Review Online Unrest carefully articulates a new set of social guidelines, ones still taking shape in the 19th century. Schäublin depicts the process by which competing notions of time and space are being reconciled, always in favor of capital. May 5, 2023 Full Review Read all reviews

walter k The film slowly wind its way along with the Anarchist movement and its impact on the precisely working machine of a watch factory in rural Switzerland. The depiction of the watch factory is done in a very realistic way showing how things really happened in the late 1800's watch factories. Fascinating for the few viewers who can appreciate its accuracy. The final scenes suggest that a romance had been building between it leading characters. All in all, a real gem Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/19/25 Full Review Dani G Boring, to say the least. Not even a thing to say about it. All I wanted was to be finished Rated 1 out of 5 stars 05/03/24 Full Review Balachandran C The movie goes in a slow pace like a needle of a time machine. So we can touch the forwarding of a revolution which changes history. Beautiful movie. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 08/30/23 Full Review Celtic R This movie is a gem. It's about anarchy and anarchists but the movie goes beyond politics. Why and how do sensitive and intelligent people become anarchists? No bomb-throwing in this film and not much for theorizing. The movie is a gem and it's needed in the twenty-first century. Although it may take a few years for the movie to find its audience. Progress is possible. Keep moving along. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 08/04/23 Full Review Avindu G It's a tranquil tale about anarchism's historic existence. A portrayal how lush green of unspoiled nature and the silence of this rural Swiss community still being unable to diminish the sparks of revolutionary thought. The unjust dismissals , the collectivenes of society and solidarity that leaves room for debating thoughts pictures the possibility of an alternative schools of thought in the world even in a period of technical disadvantages. Great visuals brings meaningful value to every scene. Excellent dialogues and performances by the whole cast. It's a story that requires lot of patience but it's historic importance makes it worthy to watch. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 07/16/23 Full Review StephenPaul C The greatest 01 hour: and 33 minutes of true-life storylines!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
