Unreliable Narrator | |
Unsane / int_1869b4b1 | comment |
Unreliable Narrator: Played with but averted, as it becomes clear that Sawyer was telling the truth the whole time. Brought back again in the final scene, when Sawyer thinks she sees David and nearly kills a random person. | |

Ooh, Me Accent's Slipping | |
Unsane / int_35b241c0 | comment |
Ooh, Me Accent's Slipping: Claire Foy's English accent slips through numerous times during the film, especially when incensed, making e.g. "the counselor said the forms were routine" sound more like Elizabeth. | |
