The latest trailer for Una, the festival favourite that shocked audiences at TIFF and London Film Festival in 2016, has arrived online. Watch the new Una UK trailer below.
New Una UK trailer: Rooney Mara and Ben Mendelsohn lead the cast
Based on the Laurence Olivier Award winning stage play ‘Blackbird’ by David Harrower, Una is directed by Benedict Andrews, stars Rooney Mara, Ben Mendelsohn and Riz Ahmed.
We managed to catch this film at the LFF last year. It is a very tough watch, purely because of the subject matter, but while Una is not necessarily a film that one may enjoy it is worth hunting down for its excellently written characters and Mara and Mendelsohn who expertly embody them.

Here’s the official synopsis for the film.
Una follows a young woman’s journey to reclaim her past. Fifteen years earlier, Una ran away with an older man, Ray, a crime for which he was arrested and imprisoned. When she comes across a photo of him in a trade magazine, Una tracks him down and turns up at his workplace. Her abrupt arrival threatens to destroy Ray’s new life and derail her stability. Unspoken secrets and buried memories surface as Una and Ray sift through the wreckage of the past. Their confrontation raises unanswered questions and unresolved longings. It will shake them both to the core. UNA gazes into the heart of a devastating form of love and asks if redemption is possible.
