When the film-makers pose overly rhetorical or philosophical questions to other players, it only leads to uninspired answers. When we are simply allowed to be in the game, however, something truly magical happens. Go to Full Review Rory O'Connor The Film Stage Sep 5, 2024

There is a sense of humility to this approach that can feel Herzogian at times. More than anything, Knit’s Island is a work of genuine curiosity. Go to Full Review Josh Bell Crooked Marquee Sep 3, 2024

With some striking "camera" angles, Knit's Island manages to make its virtual setting often hauntingly beautiful, which augments the melancholy musings of its subjects. Go to Full Review Daniel Gorman In Review Online Mar 22, 2024
Part sociological inquiry, part ontological investigation, Knit’s Island is a fascinating documentary that eschews any and all footage outside the confines of the game itself. Baudrillard would have a field day with this stuff. Go to Full Review Tara Judah Screen International May 2, 2023
Far from the violence the game is predicated upon, Knit’s Island is a gentle enquiry into the reality of the video game world which yields fascinating results. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

Eva H @RT12682544 Feb 7, 2025 "Knit’s Island" employs a witty and humorous narrative to explore how modern humans interact within virtual worlds. Set against breathtaking landscapes, the film masterfully blends solemn yet moving moments with grand, immersive music, pulling the audience into the natural beauty of its digital realm. Through the lens of three seemingly ordinary players, it delves into raw human emotions, revealing a touch of childlike innocence amidst the awkward, rigid animations of in-game avatars. While wrapped in playful banter, the film delivers profound reflections on life with striking simplicity, making it both thought-provoking and unexpectedly touching. See more Read all reviews
