The American movie Most Beautiful Island is a good example of low-budget independent movie production. It manages to create a decent storyline with non-actors and show that somewhere off-screen, things are happening that we probably do not need to see. Most Beautiful Island is not an explicit movie trying to be in your face, although it does reveal the unpleasant face of a society we would not wish to be a part of.

Most Beautiful Island is a take on the American dream in an intimate, low-budget thriller that does not fulfil the
expectations of a perverted viewer, but reaches a level of suspense that even the most discerning genre enthusiast will
find satisfying. Not bad for an actress’s debut as a director and screenwriter, while also being in front of the camera the
whole time. [Sitges FF]
