Islander is a well crafted film that has a lot of heart and soul.
03/08/07
A noble entry into the real world of timeless and truly independent American cinema.

This simple, classic story is enlivened with well-described characters and credible emotions that make us empathize with the motives and decision of all the characters.

Top CriticThe Islander places its generic, troubled-guy plot within a small lobstering community on an island off the coast of Maine.
03/22/07
A small, plaintive, modestly made film about how one bad decision can wreck a life.

Unfortunately, the storyfollows too uninvolving a course to make the movie as powerful as it could have been. But that shouldn't stop audiences drawing satisfaction from its textures.
