Review of The Isle

The Isle (2018)
7/10
I enjoyed it a lot, but....

This is a beautiful looking film, bags of atmosphere, but why is it beyond filmmakers these days to use dollies and tripods? I don't understand this fashion for everything looking like it's handheld shots. It cheapens the look of the film a little for me.

Apart from that gripe, this is a belter, a slow burning, but never boring tale, it draws you in, and you want to know what happens, keeps you interested throughout.

It's also a shame this isn't on blu ray, it would benefit from the format for sure.

A solid 7, without the slightly shaky cameras, would have been an 8.
