Synopsis
Inspired by real events, this drama follows a group of eccentric individuals who abandon civilization to build a new home on a secluded island.

Woke Score Breakdown
🎭 Race-swapped character
1All historical figures, including Friedrich Ritter, Dore Strauch, Heinz and Margret Wittmer, and the Baroness, are portrayed by actors who match their original European race and ethnicity.
🔃 Gender-swapped character
1No historical figures are recast as a different sex; all characters align with their real-life counterparts.
👥 Diverse casting
1The cast is historically appropriate to the 1930s European background of the settlers, without any artificial demographic representation.
✊ Racial messaging
1There is no content addressing systemic racism, racial grievances, or white culpability.
🛂 Immigrant themes
1The characters are self-imposed outcasts seeking individualistic utopias rather than traditional immigrants, and the film does not present any pro-immigration messaging.
🪶 Indigenous peoples
1The film is set on Floreana, an uninhabited island in the Galápagos, so there are no native populations or colonization themes depicted.
🏳️🌈 LGBT characters
1The Baroness lives in a polyamorous throuple with two male lovers (Rudolf and Robert), but there are no LGBT themes or characters given narrative weight.
♀️ Feminist themes
1While female characters like Margret Wittmer display great physical and mental resilience (such as giving birth alone in a cave), their portrayal is faithful to their historical survival rather than a critique of traditional roles or masculinity.
🏢 Anti-capitalist themes
1The Baroness's scheme to build a luxury resort for millionaires makes her a greedy antagonist, but this functions as an individual character flaw rather than a systemic critique of capitalism.
🌱 Environmental issues
1The film is a survival story set in nature, but the characters' primary conflict is with each other rather than a vehicle for environmental advocacy.
Content Rating Breakdown
💋 Sex & Nudity
SevereThe film features explicit sexual content and full-frontal graphic nudity. Friedrich Ritter (Jude Law) and Dore Strauch (Vanessa Kirby) are shown having sex naked. In a pivotal scene, Ritter purposefully meets the Baroness (Ana de Armas) completely unclothed, with full-frontal male nudity visible throughout the entire interaction. The Baroness is depicted wearing a wet, translucent shift, and she is heard engaging in loud, drunken sexual activity with her lovers on multiple occasions.
🩸 Violence & Gore
SevereThere are several highly graphic acts of violence and gore. One character is stabbed repeatedly in his bare side, leaving gaping, bloody wounds. Another character is shot in the head with a gun facing the camera, resulting in explicit head trauma. A man is intentionally poisoned and dies in writhing agony, and a woman has a tooth painfully extracted with a pair of pliers. Other violent moments include physical brawls, an impaled hand where the victim wrenches the blade out to attack his assailant's mouth, and the killing of domestic animals.
🤬 Profanity
ModerateThe film's dialogue includes about a dozen uses of the f-word, a handful of s-words, and a profane pairing of God's name with "damn."
🍺 Alcohol, Drugs & Smoking
ModerateThe Baroness and her companions are depicted drinking heavily, hosting rowdy, drunken parties on the island. A visiting wealthy American also shares bottles of wine and other alcoholic beverages with the settlers during a large dinner gathering. Several characters are shown smoking cigarettes regularly.
👻 Frightening & Intense Scenes
SevereThe movie contains highly intense, distressing sequences of survival and terror. Most notably, a heavily pregnant character experiences severe labor pains while being actively hunted by a pack of wild dogs, culminating in a highly tense stand-off where she must give birth while standing and cornered. Other sustained periods of peril involve armed home invasions, poisoned agonizing deaths, and raw psychological warfare between the desperate island settlers.
