Top Critics Reviews

fresh:
It is a mood piece, meditative, in which even the melodrama of the plot grows out of the flawed souls of the characters. Everything in a film like this depends on performance, and it is hard to imagine how it could have been better cast.
– Roger Ebert,
Chicago Sun-Times,

rotten:
A literary adaptation that takes itself so seriously one longs for Gilligan and the Skipper.
– Rita Kempley,

rotten:
Slow and stately, Pascali's Island never gets beneath its own superficial gentility.
– Caryn James,

fresh:
The milieu may seem remote but the performances illuminate, and the story has an originality that compensates for the modest budget.

rotten:
Despite an eye-catching but mannered central performance from Ben Kingsley, looms as too languid and remote to make much impact.
