Reviews

Islands is a feel-good movie that, in an odd way, doesn't try to make us feel too good. That's why there's a little bit of art to it.
- Owen Gleiberman, Variety
A stunning feat of lived-in filmmaking, with shot compositions and confident pacing as organized as furniture in a living room.
- Nick Allen, rogerebert.com
Alcasid and Comilang are simply splendid, the former bringing a much-needed zest to the proceedings, the latter imbuing it with heart.
- Alex Saveliev, Film Threat
