What to Know

Critics Consensus

It may not rank with Scorsese's best work, but Shutter Island's gleefully unapologetic genre thrills represent the director at his most unrestrained.

Julie and Brandy Autostraddle It's supposed to be some suspense thriller... somebody should have said hey why don't you go see the hilarious comedy of Shutter Island. Sep 1, 2021 Full Review Deborah Ross The Spectator It's not a serious film and it's not even an especially suspenseful film but it is fun, in a Dr Caligari sort of way. Aug 30, 2018 Full Review Candice Frederick Reel Talk Online A twisted psychological thriller that leaves you guessing until the very end, Shutter Island is yet another fantastic collaboration between DiCaprio (giving another pitch-perfect and near heartbreaking performance) and director Martin Scorsese. Rated: A Sep 11, 2017 Full Review Ray Pride Newcity A thrill of form and function, a fully crafted exercise in visual style and classical genre legerdemain. Rated: 9/10 Jul 2, 2024 Full Review Michael Leader Den of Geek Even when these deeper textual aspects are pushed aside, Shutter Island is still a thriller that is gripping, chilling and wholly entertaining... Rated: 4/5 May 7, 2024 Full Review Yasser Medina Cinefilia As a mystery thriller, it is a direct one-way ticket to madness, and it's impossible not to get hooked or think about it once it's over. Without a doubt, this is one of Scorsese's best films with DiCaprio. [Full review in Spanish] Rated: 8/10 Feb 21, 2024 Full Review Read all reviews
