Stylish but barely mediocre overall

An absolute waste of money

The plot isn't so bad, but the pace of storytelling is too slow which makes people bored. Certain moments are so obvious and unnecessary for the main plot. I would've fast-forwarded those moments if it was an online streaming. The ending looks like implying a sequel, not sure if this movie will get one

Great movie. Not sure what people expected but I found it highly entertaining.

What an incredible short this one was.It starts being something funny and satirical, combining in a very clever way several visual elements commonly used in documentary films, with some cut-out animations, but as it advances, it turns into something way darker and disturbing (Not for what it is explicitly show on screen, but for what is heavily implied through the situations that take place in this short) The result is something very bitter and very bleak, being able to express in a short format all the cruelty and unfairness of the modern society.That being said, it is masterfully done, with a great visual work and a superb direction. But it is for the message of this short what makes "Ilha das Flores" a masterpiece.

This film is amazing and I consider it the best one I've seen so far. This documentary is not simply about information, it is about conveying a message to the audience and getting them to fully digest the gravity of the director's message. What it does is to take simple information and piece it together in a creative way with cut-out visuals and animation, as well as real-time footage, engaging the audience in a way that is unfamiliar to the pop movie goer. At the same time, Furtado does well to entertain the audience with witty lines and states the obvious to drive into the viewer's mind that we often ignore the obvious, and the problem he eventually highlights is one of them. Kudos. Love it.

Jorge Furtado needed no more than 13 minutes to prove his theory "there's no God", showed in the beginning of the movie. This movie is as raw as fresh meat and cuts like a knife. No more words to describe. You must see it for yourself. Believe me, after you watch this movie you won't forget it never more.

This short is a fine example of people with something crucial to say, having to bend to commercial whims of entertainment in order to hold the audience's attention span long enough to get the message across. It is remarkably witty, and runs at a fanatical pace. The jokes cause a smile, but when the holocaust clips arise, we get the clue that there are weighty matters at stake here. People need to see films like this. Remarkably effective.
