Linda Marric NME (New Musical Express) Sibilia and co-writer Francesca Manieri successfully mix whimsy and pathos to give us something truly inspiring. Rated: 3/5 Dec 10, 2020 Full Review Cath Clarke Guardian You wait for anything much to happen. Rated: 2/5 Dec 9, 2020 Full Review Josh Slater-Williams Little White Lies Entertaining adaptation of an anarchistic story that deserves to be better known. Rated: 3/5 Dec 8, 2020 Full Review Barbara Shulgasser Common Sense Media Man builds own country; language and drinking. Rated: 3/5 Dec 17, 2020 Full Review Edward Porter Sunday Times (UK) The film's account (with Elio Germano as Rosa) certainly doesn't stake out new territory, but its tale of mavericks pursuing their dream and defying stuffy politicians is lively enough. Rated: 3/5 Dec 14, 2020 Full Review John Serba Decider A granddaddy of a wasted opportunity. Dec 11, 2020 Full Review Read all reviews

Benoit B A good watch if you cant find anything else, very VERY boring at some parts(especially the start) however every single ministry scenes were absolutely perfect. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 12/25/23 Full Review Torin F ROSE ISLAND offers an entertaining adaptation of true events in late 1960's Italy. There are interesting anarchist underpinnings that give the story an inspiring air, but it's also true that nothing much happens, on the island or in the film, beyond some parties and some expected conflict and resolution, bringing a few people closer. Perhaps there's deeper insight right there---such is probably the case with most bold endeavors, and the film delivers this sense quite admirably. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 08/05/23 Full Review S R Interesting story, but it was tough to get by the bad dubbing and cheese. I did enjoy learning a little about international law for islands and wanted to learn more. It was on Netlfix. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 07/08/23 Full Review Justin V the acting feels natural and easily drew me into feeling the stubbornness and determination of the characters. Unlikely and amazing as the story sounds, knowing this is a true story grounded me into the reality of the moments these people lived, and the realisation that we should always do what we believe in. This is not an action movie. What goes on are emotions not scenes. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 01/27/23 Full Review Mouse of L A very interesting story and a great comedy. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Audience Member As a fan of Italian cinema I really apperciate this movie. Just the fact that we barely see any kisses on screen but the plot is build on the romantic storyline is worth of something Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/27/23 Full Review Read all reviews
