Enjoyed the many flashback scenes which were both nonsensical and contradictory, many of which ultimately did nothing to further the narrative but instead assisted the film in portraying a very exciting portrait of insanity. Honestly, I have no clue what actually happened and I couldn't begin to explain it to someone else, but some fun over the top acting combined with interesting visuals made this a fun enough watch.

This is my shutter island
Undoubtedly one of my favorite visuals in film. This movie is gorgeous! The approach to the story caught me off guard a couple of times. But I was still able to understand its plot and message in some ways. But I’ll want a rewatch to be sure (and probably give it a 5 Star)Expected and hoped for more horror elements than it actually had, but the presentation and visuals were so good I didn’t even care.
Regardless, I thought the film was incredible.
