Settlers on a Galápagos island turn on each other. Directed by Ron Howard, released 2025.
Plot
In the early 1930s a German doctor and his partner settle uninhabited Floreana in the Galápagos to live outside civilisation. A second family arrives, then a woman styling herself a baroness with two companions, and the island is too small for all of them. Several of them did not leave it.
Review, written by AI
Based on a real and genuinely strange case, played as a chamber piece with sand. The cast commits harder than the script does, and the tone wobbles between satire and survival drama. Interesting more often than it is good.
