There is a review from Aidan Milan on the Upcoming reviews site.
.
http://www.theupcoming.co.uk/2017/10/16/unrest-movie-review/

Unrest is, like most of the best documentaries, clever, fascinating, heartwrenching, and very frustrating. Viewers are presented with the hard, scientific facts, which prove that ME is a physical illness and not, as many doctors still believe, a purely psychological disorder. And yet, as we learn later, research into the condition is still woefully underfunded. There are parts of the world in which ME sufferers are institutionalised against their will and kept from their familes, apparently in an attempt to cure them of their psychological affliction. The idea that this attitude stems in part from the fact that most ME sufferers are women is unfortunately all too believable.
