“Most Beautiful Island” is a psychological thriller examining the plight of undocumented female immigrants hoping to make a life in New York. Shot on Super 16 with an intimate, voyeuristic sensibility, “Most Beautiful Island” chronicles one harrowing day in the life of Luciana, a young immigrant woman struggling to make ends meet while striving to escape her past. As Luciana’s day unfolds, she is whisked, physically and emotionally, through a series of troublesome, unforeseeable extremes. Before her day is done, she inadvertently finds herself a central participant in a cruel game. Lives are placed at risk, while psyches are twisted and broken for the perverse entertainment of a privileged few.

“Anchored by Asensio’s fearless and gripping performance,
Most Beautiful Island directs an unflinching point of view toward an often invisible population.”
-Los Angeles Times

“a character study of survival in a capitalistic,
hierarchical world that is not completely bereft of humanity…
an intriguing and slow-burn reinvention of survival horror.”
-Austin Chronicle

“Uses restless tracking shots, hectic cityscapes, ambient noise
and sequences of prolonged stillness to conjure unease and dread”.
-The New York Times
