Sofía Viera LatinaMedia.Co From its score to its script, “Esta Isla” masterfully captures life in Puerto Rico while building our own mythic language. Sep 1, 2025 Full Review Dave Giannini Geek Vibes Nation There are no pure heroes on display; they all have moments in which they react too strongly, but they also have episodes in which they just sit and listen. The slowness of these moments is what makes Esta Isla a world worth visiting. Rated: 7/10 Jul 20, 2025 Full Review Read all reviews
