The private hell of four single New Yorkers made public for your viewing pleasure.
A black comedy about four new york city singles and their candidly obsessed quest for love through the personals.

"Thumbs up!  Gene Siskel, Siskel & Ebert
"Funny . . . voyeuristic . . . poignant pleasures.  San Francisco Examiner
"Prowling . . . witty and deviously contrived.  The Boston Phoenix
"Fascinating! Lurid & voyeuristic!  Owen Gleiberman, Entertainment Weekly

Editor's Note
Four New Yorkers seek husbands and wives through the personals, with varying amounts of success. Each person shares their insecurities and hopes with the camera. Nicholas Barker's scathingly humorous film was shot in a documentary style but with some rehearsal and planning involved.

Professional Reviews

Entertainment Weekly
"...Sad, funny, nakedly desperate yearnings....Barker invents a fiction darker and stanger than truth..." -- Rating: A- 09/04/1998 p.59

New York Times
"...Fascinating..." 08/07/1998 p.E7

Box Office
"...Entertaining....[The] candid comments are often quite funny..." 02/01/1998 p.51

San Francisco Chronicle 7 of 10
...a funny, engaging look at the miserable, failed love lives of four New Yorkers... It's "real life" sensibility--even though it is fiction--has a heart-bruising truth to it... In their speeches to Barker's camera, the actors are so alive and emotive that Unmade Beds takes on an almost painful intimacy as it depicts the terrifying loneliness in a teeming city. - Peter Stack
