Leave your thoughts about The Isle.
| Lessons of DarknessNick SchagerA creepy, gruesome, gorgeous and flabbergasting treatise on romantic obsession and violent, nasty male-female relationships. |
| Film ThreatRich ClineThe increasingly creepy plot is counter balanced by a genuinely tender romance, which makes the film impossible to categorise, and will no doubt limit it to obscure arthouses and cinephiles who have very strong stomachs. They won't be disappointed. |
| OffoffoffJoshua TanzerMade me unintentionally famous - as the queasy-stomached critic who staggered from the theater and blacked out in the lobby. But believe it or not, it's one of the most beautiful, evocative works I've seen. |
| Projected FiguresAnton BitelIf you have a strong stomach, then this deceptively calm tale of self-imposed isolation, extreme emotions and fishing will quickly reel you in, and leave its hooks in you long after you escape the cinema. |
| Planet Sick-BoyJon PopickEqual parts Takashi Miike and Shohei Imamura. |
| Reeling ReviewsLaura CliffordKi-duk Kim has created a provocatively violent and sexual film with an oddly idyllic sensibility. It's a mysterious but ultimately rewarding experience. |
| Sight and SoundRichard FalconKim Ki-Deok seems to have in mind an (emotionally at least) adolescent audience demanding regular shocks and bouts of barely defensible sexual violence to keep it interested. |
| Washington PostMark Jenkins"Spring, Summer" fans should only have their appreciation of that film expanded by seeing this rougher take on similar themes. |
| San Jose Mercury NewsGlenn LovellThere is little question that this is a serious work by an important director who has something new to say about how, in the flip-flop of courtship, we often reel in when we should be playing out. |
| NewsdayJan StuartOnce [Kim] begins to overplay the shock tactics and bait-and-tackle metaphors, you may decide it's too high a price to pay for a shimmering picture postcard. |
