Leave your thoughts about Pascali's Island.
| Chicago Sun-TimesRoger EbertIt is a mood piece, meditative, in which even the melodrama of the plot grows out of the flawed souls of the characters. Everything in a film like this depends on performance, and it is hard to imagine how it could have been better cast. |
| Washington PostDesson ThomsonHelen Mirren has always been good at playing sexy eccentrics. But it is Kingsley's performance, as the despairing victim of his own actions, that makes this island worth a visit. |
| VarietyVariety StaffDespite an eye-catching but mannered central performance from Ben Kingsley, looms as too languid and remote to make much impact. |
| User ReviewPatricia BA little known movie that stars two brilliant actors in Ben Kingsley and Helen Mirren. Very very black drama, and it doesn't end how you think it will. |
