La isla minima is one of the best thriller of the last few years. Set in a believable landscape in the post Franco time. (10/10)
This version of the movie plays 1992 in Mecklenburg-Vorpommern/East Germany. I was born in 1983 in East Germany and I have to say, there are some mistakes shown in the movie, for example, the police had no Trabant as a police car. Also the landscape which is shown in the movie is not believable for Mecklenburg-Vorpommern, but beautiful shot. (the movie was filmed in Ukraina) The story of the movie was almost 100% like the original, why they put it in the remake. Do your self a favor and watch the original movie!

Authentic atmosphere
SilentMovieBuff16 August 2023
Very nice movie, seemed authentic enough to me. I really liked how the movie looked (lights, colouring etc.). The atmosphere of the movie reminded me a bit of The Crimson Rivers as well as some Swedish crime movies.
I haven't seen the film which This was a remake of but am definitely interested in seeing that as well. I think the story fit in well to the time after the reunification.
The acting was good enough. In the end quite a basic crime movie but loved the elements that were bought from the DDR time.
I definitely recommend this movie to all fans of European crime movies. Although it is modern, it still has the vibe of the 90s.
