Black Island (2021 TV Movie)
4/10
Lack of explanation in some parts of the plot
29 April 2023
Warning: Spoilers
It is an average story to pass the time. Decent acting though, excellent landscape and very well shot movie.

The depth of the characters is not built at all, and the main character is too dumb, as he believes every thing his teacher tells him.

At the very beginning a dog attacks an old lady and this event is never explained as the story goes on.

Also, Nina gives Jonas a paper bag that he never opens.

Then, because I don't speak German, I couldn't read the lines on the wall in Jonas's bedroom.

Isn't it odd for someone to break into your home without warning? For Jonas that seems to be good.

Helena gets away with it all too well when she murders Nina and gets rid off the body in broad daylight, and no one worries about her when she disappears.

Is it normal that she doesn't answer her calls? Don't her parents worry about her when she doesn't come home to sleep?

If you keep thinking, when you realize she is his aunt, the sex part is unnecessary and only makes her more twisted. She could seduce him, without going as far as having sex (although they are both adults now) adding sex to the plot doesn't build too much to her background.

I think that sums up what I have to say.
