La Isla

...an excellent and absorbing drama.

Michael Ritchie’s direction schizophrenically swings from horror territory to boy-own adventure, but it’s held in place well and will no doubt find some new fans...

...communicates a bittersweet mix of feelings part adoration, part frustration, as if the speaker was trying to make sense of their embattled homeland with each sentence.

...is a lovers-on-the-run narrative unafraid to pause for emotional and thematic effect.
