Juan T DO NOT SEE THIS FILM. A dog being hit and abused multiple times is just unacceptable. It wasn't acted. Everyone involved in that should go to jail, starting with the director. Rated 1/5 Stars •  Rated 1 out of 5 stars 07/21/24 Full Review Audience Member gosh... i knew what i was getting into before watching this one - & it did deliver all the disturbing imagery it promised - but the rest of the film just wasn't good. the mute girl played her part well, but everyone else was kind of just ridiculous. not sure if that was purposeful or not, but i thought it took away from the story they were trying to tell. idk. it more or less just seemed like a random movie with random gross happenings. she had no real reason to take an interest in yellow-boat-house-guy & he had no real reason for being there anyway. & he waited like 3 days to ask her if there was a bathroom? didn't you have to go the first day you got there? & what are all these people eating? idk. i like the premise, but i thought it was sloppy & gross. Rated 2/5 Stars •  Rated 2 out of 5 stars 01/20/23 Full Review Audience Member The moment I listened to this movie, my thoughts seemed to be seeing the world of mankind destroyed by zombies. It is a film in a dreamy fantasy world that looks like watching a post-apocalyptic movie. Or it's like a science fiction movie. The movie Waterworld came to mind. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/23/23 Full Review Audience Member I remember this as the first film of Kim Ki-Duk that I watched. Been a fan of his films since then. And perhaps this would still be my favorite out of his portfolio. It's a touching and weird love story. The visual storytelling is superb. Even without an audio, you'd understand, and that is the nirvana state of any filmmaker. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/13/23 Full Review Audience Member Brilliant acting! Innovative plot! Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/15/23 Full Review Audience Member When you go into a kim-ki-duk movie, dont expect a great storyline or a good plot. The movie is filled with emotion,drama and the spirit that you can do anything if you want something. The isle is a strange love story, which like all kim-ki-duk movies contains very less dialogue but the actors communicate via action and a pretty solid screenplay and direction. It is very graphic at times, but that what Kim-Ki-Duk is. Its sheer execution of his direction that sails this film through. It might not be everyone's cup of tea, but it surely is fantastic if get the essence of the film. Rated 4.5/5 Stars •  Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 01/22/23 Full Review Read all reviews
