I'm not quite certain what to say about Unsane, Steven Soderbergh's psychological thriller, shot (by the director) with an iPhone, and some special optics from Moment.

Finished as a 4k DI, what we see, is precisely what we were meant to see.
Extremely deep blacks, minimal shadow detail, decent color, and resolution, looking nothing like what might be created with a larger chip via a camera normally set for cinematography.
The experiment either proves that a feature film can be shot with an iPhone, or possibly that it shouldn't be.
Does it work for this film?
I presume it does.
Would I like to see it used for other features?
Don't think so.
Did it allow a couple of iPhones to be written off as part of the reported 1.5 million dollar budget?
Hopefully.
From a base perspective, the film seems to about our Federal government, as well as local law enforcement, either in cahoots, or maneuvered by a group of psychological medical facilities that bilk the system, holding patients against there will.
At least until insurance funds dry up.
Tie that together with a potential stalker, and you've got the picture.
Or at least might, dependent upon whose eyes you're viewing, and who you believe.
To that end, Claire Foy gives a wonderfully nuanced, and naked performance, in an extremely challenging role. She proves her mettle.
The film is unusually hard matted at 1.56, which was actually a standard aspect ratio for films released in the U.S. on 23 March 2018.
Possibly, the most important point is that the film was created for an extremely low sum for a professional feature film.
