Clevercell Very disappointing...

Acensbart Excellent but underrated film

XoWizIama Excellent adaptation.

Matrixiole Simple and well acted, it has tension enough to knot the stomach.

yespat All the acting was good, scenery, everything like that but none of the characters made me want to care about them. And worse than that, the storyline just kept getting more and more depressing.I gave it four stars because it was adequately well done but if I had known how dreadfully depressing it was with no redeeming characters, I surely would not have wasted my time.And I agree that not every movie has to have a happy ending but I just cannot see enough of a reason to recommend this film.The subtitles were better executed than most foreign films, though even those weren't perfect.So if you want to have a down day, this is the film for you.

John Seal A worthwhile Spanish drama about family and genetics, La Isla Interior provides a powerful and sobering look at the crippling effects of mental illness. Cristina Marks stars as Gracia, one of three siblings re-united by the imminent death of their father. Also on hand are brother Miguel (Alberto San Juan) and sister Coral (Candela Pena), as well as dear old mum (Geraldine Chaplin). Dad has long suffered from schizophrenia and the family have long avoided dealing with its legacy, but his passing forces them to come to terms with his—and perhaps their—illness. Though deadly serious in intent, there's an underlying current of dark humor that works in the film's favor, and San Juan delivers a particularly strong performance.
