Immolation scene was poorly done and had poor special effects.

Reta Winters: [voice over] All my life, I've heard of people speak of finding themselves in acute pain, bankrupt in spirit and body, but I've never understood what they meant. To lose. To have lost. I believe these visitations of darkness last only a few minutes or hours, and that these saddened people, in-between bouts, are occupied, because we all are, with the useful monotony of happiness.

Tries too hard to be profound without success

The premise of the movie is interesting enough to give "Unless" a chance. Reta is a writer who finds her daughter Norah dropped out of school and is living in the streets. She and her family will face this predicament in different ways while they try to find the reasons why Norah chose to do that.

The problem with the movie, at the end of the day, is that it tries too hard to be profound and have deeper meanings in its socio-political commentary that fails to have the desired effect and doesn't deliver once the reasons for Norah's behavior are known.

Entertaining for the most part, but it's not worth the time.
