Wonderful character development!

Beautiful, moving film.

It’s an especially fun movie from a director and cast who are clearly having a good time allowing themselves to let loose.

The film's masterful storytelling did its job. The message was clear. No need to overdo.

Very one dimensional. A very unlikeable poor foreign girl mooches round New York ripping people off for an hour. Another unlikeable foreign girl tells her she can be well paid to go to an underground party. Both girls go, each has a spider walk on them while naked for 2 minutes. The end. There is no hidden meaning, no depth or dimension and I am an experienced film viewer that finds a reason to appreciate most films, even the crap ones. I felt compelled to write my first ever review to warn people. It is beyond me why this film has a 5.6 rating. I can only assume it is the film-makers' families and friends plus the 2 minutes of nakedness at the end of the film that has upped the average.

Well that was... interesting. Most Beautiful Island plays like your standard drama of a foreigner struggling away from home after escaping a horrible event in America, taking on any embarrassing job she can to pay the rent of her parasite infested apartment.From handing out flyers in an embarrassing costume to babysitting two little brats, nothing seems beneath our poor Spanish immigrant, and we're sure for a long time the film is going to end either in tragedy for her or reach a pivotal moment where she packs it all in and flies back home.Instead, she gets an invite to a private party along with a few other attractive girls, and no it is NOT for the reasons you might think. After getting all dressed up and leaving her phone outside (as per requested) she enters the underground festivities to discover... well, that would be telling.Sufficed to say, the last twenty minutes will be the most anyone can remember, not because they're particularly graphic or disturbing but they're just... odd. Is there really a secret network of people in the USA who get off on this sort of thing? Would they actually pay top money to see it?I have my doubts. What isn't in any doubt though, is while Most Beautiful Island is an exercise in mind-numbing mediocrity for most of it's length, I give it credit for giving me those moments I shall recall for a long time.Notice I didn't say 'cherish'. That was intentional. 5/10

Very slow buildup - should have been an episode of the Dark Mirror or a horror anthology not a full movie as there is no character development or any real story development.The end though does hold some suspense and has an interesting denouement but its only an average movie to pass your time and it won't set your world alight.

there were parts in the movie that made no sense not to mention the so called party. for example why having the bath scene where she was watching how the roaches kept coming out of the wall...save yourself an hour of life because the sick game that the woman got herself into was so hard to believe even though the movie was inspired by true events. however there was a similar sick game shown in one of the last episode of montalbano as well...it is still hard to believe that at that age a woman would got herself into such situation so willingly and naively and by all means not that desperate just looking for shortcuts in life without the hard work... while she must have had somewhat an idea the job had to be dangerous risky or at least very uncomfortable. 3 out of 10 points only because I actually watched the whole movie so it must have kept the attention. that is the only value and showing some sick entertainment choices of some circles of people that can even lead seemingly normal life during the day, which is really nothing new.
