Tanna

"Despite its best efforts, Tanna drifts into a mode of exoticism that renders it an ultimately frustrating experience."

"The story is so simple as to be nonexistent. What keeps it interesting is the authenticity of the cast members... as well as the spectacular views of Tanna."

"It’s a beautiful odyssey with strong spiritual undertones."

"The movie is a tremendous accomplishment... (the) performances are as stunning as the setting, and that’s truly saying something."

"(Wawa and Dain) transport us completely to this very different but somehow familiar world."

"A film that walks the line between elemental simplicity and corny formula..."

"A couple or 11 fewer volcano shots wouldn't have been missed, but otherwise the film uses its 100 minutes smartly. Emotional notes are hit neatly and refreshingly."

"Beautifully told... weaves fascinating details of tribal life into a universally accessible and emotionally affecting romantic drama."

"With its magnetic cast and Venice award-winning cinematography, this film treads the familiar theme of star-crossed lovers with shimmering vitality."

"An enchanting real-life account of trouble in paradise."
