Adam Solomons indieWire De Fontenay has undoubtedly chosen a good story to tell. And it’s good that more readers may now discover Vann’s wonderful book. But “Sukkwan Island” feels most like an opportunity missed. Rated: C Jan 26, 2025 Full Review Guy Lodge Variety An evocative but incomplete [adaptation], though the grace of its assembly, and of Swann Arlaud and Woody Norman’s excellent performances, should attract international arthouse buyers. Jan 26, 2025 Full Review Jordan Mintzer The Hollywood Reporter Sukkwan Island has a powerful immersive quality that makes up for some of its dramatic shortcomings, especially dialogue that can feel either stilted or too on-the-nose. Jan 26, 2025 Full Review Abe Friedtanzer The Film Experience Arlaud is the best reason to watch this film, conveying so deeply that Tom wants to spend time with his son but struggling to show him in the best manner. Rated: B- Feb 1, 2025 Full Review Read all reviews
