Unstable Audience Reviews

Softwing Most undeservingly overhyped movie of all time??
Bluebell Alcock Ok... Let's be honest. It cannot be the best movie but is quite enjoyable. The movie has the potential to develop a great plot for future movies
Janae Milner Easily the biggest piece of Right wing non sense propaganda I ever saw.
Roy Hart If you're interested in the topic at hand, you should just watch it and judge yourself because the reviews have gone very biased by people that didn't even watch it and just hate (or love) the creator. I liked it, it was well written, narrated, and directed and it was about a topic that interests me.
Prismark10 Lifetime decides to do an updated version of Gaslight. Shiri Appleby is Megan who is recovering from a mental breakdown. She comes from a wealthy family, her father is in the security business and she has been supported in her recovery by her mother and step sister.She gets caught up in a whirlwind romance with a nice guy bank clerk Woody (David Alpay) but soon after she gets married puzzling things happen such as things being misplaced which makes her doubt her sanity.Megan believes to doubt her husband and thinks she is sabotaging her life and making her believe she is unstable again but for what purpose? Even her family are unsure of her mental state.This is very much a run of the mill Lifetime thriller. It kind of feels and looks low key and cheap. Decent enough performances although Kathy Baker is wasted. The film never manages to be even average though.
thiottiowt For those who said they "knew" what was going to happen, and that this film was "predictable," you really aren't saying much. Put it this way, whenever a plot line asks : "Is she really crazy or being sabotaged," common sense tells you there would be no movie if Shiri Appleby was just "Unstable" and that was it. Truthfully, the villains managed to conceal their plot until very deeply into the movie,and that's why I enjoyed it.Lifetime Network basically gives you two hours, so only with rare excepted productions is the plot line NOT going to have predictable elements. It's a meme that human beings tend to write things where GOOD wins out over EVIL. So if you're not expecting too much from a 2 hour film, then you can sit back and enjoy what's going on. I think David Alpay's performance was nice and right up to the edge of what was going to be "allowed" within the limitations of a GOOD vs. EVIL scenario. I was kind of mixed up towards the end because even though it was likely Appleby's character was going to re-appear, why did it look like her family was grieving? I remembered the micro camera and saw how the step daughter was being recorded unaware, but that little part tripped me up a little. Nice film overall, though.
lemoviecritic A whirlwind courtship has newlywed (Shiri Appleby)thinking she's in bliss. She's the beloved daughter of a wonderful set of wealthy parents and has a tight relationship with her stepsister. She was in an abusive relationship in the past and her psychiatrist had been working with her on her precarious mental state much of it having to do with that abusive lover from the past. From day one of her courtship with her lover turned husband little things were happening, things misplaced,and more. She's trying valiantly to hold on to her sanity and decide if her husband wants her unstable or she sabotaging herself. I liked her spunk.This new TV movie is is a bit predictable but a decent entry to to this genre.
guil fisher This was easy to figure out from beginning. However, I was rooting for the hero. For Sheri Appleby was plain obnoxious in the role. As a plain Jane who is a fruit cake. She got on my nerves all the way through. I wanted her to not get rescued by the idiot, I think played by Michael Barbuto. The minute he got nosy and entered her apartment, I turned off the channel as I didn't want to see her survive. She was that dreadful. Please, no more Appleby. A shame to see the likes of Kathy Baker in the thankless role of Appleby's mother. She's usually good in all she does. But this was a mistake. Sorry Kathy, you have done so much more important work.The hero, played by David Alpay was great and convincing who won my vote. I wanted him to win the battle. To have to put up with the likes of his fruit cake wife, should win him a medal in the first place. When he and his accomplice caught her spying, I was hoping they'd do her in right away. Get rid of her for good. But alas, the movies never give that choice to their audience. We have to suffer with the heroine winning, which in this case was a big mistake. I also liked Samantha Walker who did a great job as the sister.To sum up this nonsense; Sheri Appleby needed to get her surmise in this viewer's mind. And the charming Alpay should have won the fortune. For putting up with a loony wife.
