MARV Review
Forgotten Island? More like “Obliterated Expectations.” They’ve clearly decided to build a cinematic soufflé of disappointment, a beige blob that tastes vaguely of desperation. Seriously, did they even *read* the script? It involves awkward teenage angst and a portal to a tropical paradise? Please. The plot is a tangled mess of nostalgia and vague symbolism. The characters? They’re all cardboard cutouts with matching expressions of boredom. Jo and Raissa are basically two rejects who happen to be in the same room. Their friendship? It’s a tragically muted version of a slow, agonizing fade to black. Honestly, the soundtrack was probably composed by a particularly depressing sloth. Four stars? Maybe. For the sheer, unwavering sadness it manages to evoke.
