2009-10-27 - I have to say this movie hit home. I am from the coast of Maine and my grandfather was a lobsterman. His father, my great grandfather, was a boat builder and was the Harbor Master at the pier in Kittery Point Maine for years. Everything about this film reminds me of growing up and the way life was for me and for most of my family members. There was one scene that was filmed in what looked like a shop where boats were built that reminded me so much of my great grandfather when he was alive working in his shop. During that scene, Baker was working on one of his boats when Hildreth starting talking to him about building boats verses fishing. This part was done perfectly as they both seemed to take their time, conversing with each other. I could almost smell the wood shavings on the floor.
I've been to Vinalhaven three times so far. The last time was this month and that is where I purchased this film. I watched it while in the hotel.
I will continue to recommend this movie to my friends and as far as my family is concerned...well they might just get a copy for Christmas!
I hope others get a chance to see this as I am sure they would not be let down. It was refreshing! I didn't want to go back to CT after I watched it. It made me homesick!


ISLANDER is a powerful "sleeper" film yet to be discovered. It is well written, well directed, and powerfully acted.
2009-08-01 - ISLANDER is a powerful "sleeper" film yet to be discovered by the viewing public; but I believe it will be. It is well-written, well-directed, and powerfully-acted. It offers insight into the offshore, island fishing culture of the northesat coast, particularly the Maine lobster fishery. One-family, one-boat lobster fishing defines much of the Maine orientation toward self sufficiency, pride, and justice. This in not a warm & fuzzy feel-good film. It's down to the bone, gritty, memorable, and worth seeing.

2009-04-27 - Being from the coast of Maine not far from Rockland actually,I found the movie Islander not only entertaining but pretty accurate in its depiction of Coastal Maine and Maine Island life in general. I liked it enough to purchase a total of three of them. One for my son in the D.R. and one for my daughter who is involved in the seafood industry. I also purchased one for myself which I have already watched several times. I recommend this film to anyone who has a fondness for the Coast and Islands of Maine. The acting is real not overly dramatized. YA GOTTA LOVE THAT MAINE ACCENT!!
