Una is such a brilliant movie. I love how it's creepy and unnerving without being graphic or exploitative with the subject matter. It humanizes Ray without being too sympathetic to him or dismissive of how much damage he's done (and could possibly still be doing, judging by the ending). I wish more people new about this film.

Ben looks slick as f***.

Ben Mendelsohn is one of Australia's finest theatre, film and tv actors since he was a child. Deserving of this overseas recognition. Surprised to see him in public, he is notoriously shy and private. He has a nervous tic..aussie journalists know to leave him alone for the most part.

I'd say that the "best" ones may be the best because a part of them truly believes the lie. Like it's a prerequisite.

Loved this movie. Ben Mendelsohm which I love so much played the role so well. He makes it hard to hate him even though he is the villian. Doesn't hurt that he is so good looking.

I think for Una's part her questions, her thoughts, her feelings were all very valid. for Ray, I don't think it was made apparent that it was soley his actions that were in the wrong as a perpetrator and adult where she was half a decade away from being an adult. she could not make adult decisions with a married man. I think what's missing is the fault factor that should lie on the adult.

I watched Una recently. Ben Mendelsohn is wonderful in this film. Great actor. It is a good film.

this film was incredible... wow... you think again about it a few days after

The director and writer did good work for this movie.

Ben Mendelson is so underrated

Of course, if he truly loved her, he wouldn't have seduced her when she was a child.

Excellent film!

LOVE BEN I ABSOLUTELY ADORE HIM.

I love these three MEN talking about a young woman's feelings. I'm not a Third Wave Feminist, but I do have insight into the topic of this film. I was raped at 13 by a family friend, then had an affair with a 51 year-old man the year after the rape. For me the lines were always clear about what was rape in the man didn't ask when he took what he wanted from me, and the man who did ask me what I wanted and why I wanted it. I feel Una's feelings are being over analyzed by three men who do not understand the heart of a young woman. Like Young Una at the end, she is locked in that amber because she had an experience that changed her. Throughout the film we see as Una tells Ray she loves him during the trial. She's not scared or harmed as she is very much in control of what she is. In the one scene the grown Una tells Ray what was done to her by the others. She was held down, drugged and his sperm taken from her WITHOUT HER CONSENT. She did give consent to the relationship with Ray. Now before anyone jumps on me to say a girl that young cannot give consent, I say she can. She didn't give consent to be held down and have her legs pried open for the "proof" to be stolen from her without her knowledge. And that's what happened. She told them nothing happened, but she was in my opinion raped by those others who refused to allow her agency. What happened that night was a miscommunication between them. It was not rape or pedophilia. When the grown Una says about him not knowing her life since those events, it's true. While he was in prison then setting up his next life as Peter, she was left with the shame of what it meant to have him go to prison. And I really wish the story had concentrated on that more. The fact these two were in effect torn apart as he was willing to risk everything to run off with her 13 year-old self. If anyone lied to her it was the lawyers, her mother. He directly says they told her he left her to make it sound good in court. And unless we get another explanation, then that's the clue there. He didn't leave her. But it's the lie the lawyers and her mother and others told her she's living with. That lie that he didn't care for her. I feel to an extent the "Una" played by Rooney Mara is an entirely different person from the one played by Ruby Stokes. How really did someone with such agency in Ruby's version, suddenly become this hollow, almost shell of a woman? Ruby's Una certainly looked far more present than Rooney's did. Had I written it from a woman's standpoint, I would have kept with the character of the Ruby Una and had the character remain strong and steadfast. I would have waited for Ray to serve his sentence, then I would have gone to him as a seventeen year-old and asked him if he still wanted me. Ray's reticence to be with her again at the factory has more to do with how he felt being caged up for four years. Suddenly he's seeing her again and he doesn't know what to do with himself because he too is now scarred from what society did to them both. There should have been some sort of healing, not this ambivalence at the end. The film was well acted, however, I feel these three men do little to give agency to the young Una, then believe they can describe her as abused by Ray in the end. The film and the younger Una I saw wasn't wounded until the system got a hold of her and Ray. There should have been some dare from the original writer to focus in on that, not concoct some sort of wounded bird without focus or agency as a young woman. They totally missed the boat on this film/play.

rather you agree or not, she was raped. 13 year olds can't consent to sex, let alone with an adult.

A movie about sexual abuse of a girl written by a man, based on a play written by a man. Men, who cannot even begin to imagine the horrors of that experience. In the age of #MeToo, I hope trash like this won't be acceptable anymore.

It's about love and abuse. Everybody has felt those feelings, and gender barely plays a role, if at all. A good author knows when they're writing a character, that you wouldn't write their personality or their decisions any different just because they're a different gender. And as a movie about love and abuse, it doesn't matter who it's coming from. This may shock you, but women are humans too. And they feel as the same emotions as men. They could've easily swapped her gender if that was the story they wanted to tell. But it wasn't. Get over yourself

​@@Magpie91 then a man who experienced it as a boy should write it from a boy's perspective. Boys and girls have completely different perspectives and experiences in the world. Completely different.
