	Author	Review
United Kingdom	Graham Fuller Screendaily	"A crucible for the combustible combination of stars Rooney Mara and Ben Mendelsohn (...) 'Una' should find strong favour with fans of thorny films like 'Compliance', 'The Diary of a Teenage Girl', and 'Room'"	POS
United States	David Rooney The Hollywood Reporter	"A lacerating 'Lolita' update (...) one of the more intelligent stage-to-screen adaptations of recent years"	POS
United States	David Ehrlich IndieWire	"An agile, vicious piece of work that’s anchored by extraordinary performances from Rooney Mara and Ben Mendelsohn""	POS
United Kingdom	Benjamin Lee The Guardian	"Stagey disappointment. (...) fails to deliver on its intriguing promise (...) Una is a character and a story that fails to engage (...) Rating: ★★ (out of five)"	NEG
United States	Peter Debruge Variety	"'Una' is intended to push our buttons (...) Mara’s eyes speak volumes, conveying the profound emptiness Una feels without him"	POS
Australia	Leigh Paatsch Herald Sun	"Through carefully placed flashbacks (...) the truth of what occurred between Una and Ray is skilfully pieced together (...) Both actors astonish (…) Rating: ★★★★ (out of 5)"	POS
United Kingdom	Dave Calhoun Time Out	"A tense but ultimately unsatisfying drama (...) So much of the power of 'Blackbird' is neutered (...) It remains a daring project – but you’re better off reading the play (…) Rating: ★★ (out of 5)"	NEG
Australia	David Stratton The Australian	"This is a powerful and challenging movie that dares to explore one of the most incendiary subjects of all: pedophilia (…) Rating: ★★★★ (out of 5)"	POS
