Review of Unmade Beds

Unmade Beds (1997)
4/10
Hopeless picture of sad lives
14 January 2001
The film scores highly for honesty but loses points for being unilaterally bleak.

Voyeuristic shots through New York windows are typical of NY life but are irrelevant to the story or stories. There are four individuals and each is the subject of his/her separate documentary. Each of these films is held together only by a similarity of theme and treatment. Each person is seen in action or discussing those actions.

Don't watch this film if you're thinking of using the personals to meet people. On the evidence of Unmade Beds, personals either don't work or the sample chosen does not accurately reflect their usefulness.

Some acute observation is sadly wasted here.
