Shutter Island deserves all the praise for being one of those films that stays with you long after the credits roll. Martin Scorsese dives into the psychological thriller genre with precision, creating an atmosphere that’s equal parts eerie and thought-provoking. Leonardo DiCaprio absolutely nails it as Teddy Daniels, a U.S. Marshal investigating the disappearance of a patient from Ashecliffe Hospital. His …

Mind-tripping psychological-thriller from Martin Scorsese, a bit of a change-up for him, with great performances all around of course including DiCaprio and Kingsley. This was my first viewing as I had procrastinated watching this for whatever reason, but found it highly entertaining with amazing, foreboding atmosphere. 4.5/5

Don't you get it? You're a rat in a maze. US Marshal Teddy Daniels (Leonardo DiCaprio) travels to an island asylum facility for the criminally insane with his newly assigned partner Chuck Aule (Mark Ruffalo). Their reason for being at Ashecliff Hospital is to investigate the mysterious disappearance of murderess Rachel Solando. But Teddy has another issue to deal with at Ashecliff, namely a meeting with Andrew …

Good suspense and mystery, although a bit too reliant on hallucinations, and the ending could have been better.

watching SHUTTER ISLAND for the first time since theaters and confirming that no i do not like this movie
How this was made: an AI model (deepseek-v4-flash) read 34 of the 210 public posts we collected about this film and wrote the summary, likes and dislikes, citing the posts behind each point ([n] opens the post). A second AI pass checked every statement against the posts it cites; anything it could not match was removed, and code removed any statement with quotation marks, numbers that are not in the posts, or unattributed claims about people. The split is counted from the posts’ own ratings. Generated Oct 9, 2026. Method

Audiences surveyed by CinemaScore gave the film an average "C+" grade on a scale of A+ to F.

60 of 240 · most liked firstThe cast of Shutter Island is ridiculously stacked with great character actors, but I think I've gotta give it to Patricia Clarkson, who tucks the movie into her back pocket and walks away with it. Also great: Ted Levine as the warden extolling the God-given virtues of violence.

I did not understand this before we settled on a movie, which ended up be a pick of mine: Shutter Island. Not a bad movie but a lot of dead kids at the end so we just went straight to bed that night.

Every time I see the opening credits I remember the "sweatiest movie of all time" joke in the first Cheers episode but never that it's in there because Ted Danson had fourth billing in Body Heat.
negative · AI labelView post →I recently watched a pretty dumb movie (Shutter Island) that I inadvertently discovered has a huge “What happened in this movie?” commentary essay and YT explainer scene, despite the fact that the movie spends the last twenty minutes explaining what happened in painful explicit detail. It worried me
negative · AI labelView post →It's all about intent. If a film is trying to be a pseudo-intellectual fuck-fest and fails to do so it should be called out on it. Shutter Island I think tries it and fails. It's like Scorsese saw Memento, thought "I can do that", but he couldn't. If a film is just dumb fun like M3GAN, then that's OK. More than fine. The worst thing you can do there is be boring. Michael Bay made robots fighting boring. Colin Trevorrow made dinosaurs boring. If you're going to be dumb then at least be fun.…

But better late than never. If you saw the movie, read the book. If you haven’t seen the movie, just read the book and then see the movie.

This made me decide that I didn't need to watch it and I never looked up a plot summary so I've no idea if I'm right.
