Reviews

Village Voice - Tatiana Craine
As a rumination on the experiences of undocumented immigrants, Most Beautiful Island presents an extreme example of what people will do to scrape by — but it does so without belittling its vulnerable characters.
83
IndieWire - David Ehrlich
Creating a lucid sense of reality only so that she can defile it with a wicked pivot towards madness, Asensio’s film creates a vision of immigrant life in America (and its value) that’s all the more urgent for how it uses genre elements to exaggerate the experience.
80
Variety - Peter Debruge
The movie’s payoff is every bit as delicious as its build-up.
80
The New York Times - Andy Webster
Dark corners of the immigrant experience in New York City, especially for women, are frighteningly dramatized in Ana Asensio’s suspense film Most Beautiful Island, a modest but effective writing-directing debut.
75
Slant Magazine - Henry Stewart
Many genre movies in which bad things happen to women end with them fighting back, but here, as people surely would in real life, they just take the money and run.
