On Island West

About This Movie

On Island West is this gritty, atmospheric take on a post-climate change Britain. The pacing feels deliberate, allowing you to really soak in Arya's conflicted mindset. You get this heavy sense of isolation, both physically on the island and mentally in her extremist upbringing. The arrival of the mixed-race stranger shifts everything, forcing deep questions around identity and morality. It's raw, not shying away from uncomfortable truths. The performances are solid too, especially in how they convey the inner turmoil without over-sentimentality. Practical effects are also worth mentioning—there's a tangible reality to the flooded landscapes that really grounds the film. It’s a distinct blend of tension and introspection that sticks with you.

Deeply atmospheric with strong thematic elements. · Interesting exploration of racism and identity. · Practical effects enhance the film's realism.
