Our take
Blending abstraction, landscape, and portraiture while also using environmentally-friendly methods, Jacquelyn Mills’s acclaimed film barnacles itself to an island and its inhabitants. Teeming with invention and generosity toward the world, this beautiful documentary is a real treasure of ecocinema.
