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...

A meticulous and mischievous unconventional first feature by Cyril Schaublin.

“Unrest” is an intriguing period piece, but a flawed curio that never quite achieves its soul-stirring goals.

Unrest is a striking example of a period film that manages to capture the essence of the present, resonating with audiences.
