Reviews for The Islanders
'The combination of sudden violence, surreal touches and bone-dry humour have led to Garnier's work being compared with the films of Tarantino.' Sunday Times 'A brilliant exercise in grim and gripping irony.' Sunday Telegraph 'Bleak, often funny and never predictable' The Observer 'For those with a taste for Georges Simenon or Patricia Highsmith.' The Independent
