Empire Patrick Peters
It may lack subtlety, but everything is beautifully designed and photographed, Watling and Tosar are superb and it's undeniably great fun.
Read Full Review >The New York Times Stephen Holden
If Unconscious consistently overplays its hand, its fusion of a Sherlock Holmes-style detective story (Alma is the master sleuth, and Salvador her Dr. Watson) with a delirious bedroom farce in the spirit of early Pedro Almodóvar is frequently very funny.
Read Full Review >Los Angeles Times Kevin Thomas
Unconscious is a ribald sex farce of considerable imagination and inspired wackiness and a meticulous period piece of the Art Nouveau era.
Read Full Review >TV Guide Ken Fox
The superego gets bested by the id in Spanish director Joaquin Oristrell's curious period sex comedy, which mixes intellectual musings on psychoanalysis with vulgar guffaws of the basest sort.
Read Full Review >Film Threat Stina Chyn
A brilliant exploration into the implications of Freud’s theories on one family.
Read Full Review >Village Voice Jennifer Drapkin
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.
Read Full Review >The Onion (A.V. Club) Tasha Robinson
While the content is colorful and the actors seem up for the task, a flawed script and Oristrell's unemphatic direction let all the impact dribble away.
Read Full Review >San Francisco Chronicle Walter Addiego
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.

Charming, offbeat comedy, with appealing performances by its 2 leads.
