The mysteries are fascinating, all the more so because they are still unsolved.

A dazzling documentary about an unsolved murder in an ad hoc community in the Galapagos islands in 1934.

rotten:
"The Galapagos Affair" spins a strange and compelling tale, with perfectly sinister music by Laura Karpman setting the mood. But the movie is better at building suspense than following through.

rotten:
The film feels less like a whodunit than a "why didn't they do it sooner?"
– Colin Covert,

fresh:
Though the pace occasionally flags during its two-hour running time, "The Galapagos Affair" is a fascinating look at a place of great beauty and remoteness, and at the kind of people drawn to live there.
