Hoang Phuc plays the character Lich, a man who is both powerful and humble.

Compared to the literary work it adapts, the film does not fall into an illustrative rut.

The film’s story revolves around 6 characters whose lives from all over the world come together in an old house, enduring the forced confinement of a hard, dirty and humble life.

The dirty kitchen in the movie is a colorful place and contains the vitality of the whole house.

In addition to the monotonous tasks that have to be done for the restaurant, each person huddles in privacy.

The two characters Mien and Phuoc sometimes become like two children because of their jealousy…

With a sharp look, director Hong Anh chose a unique plot to bring to the screen.

The most beautiful love in the movie lies in the relationship between the two women in the movie.

Many hot scenes, violent elements and painful emotions are exploited.

Chu and her room are the focus of all the dramatic conflicts and climax of the film.

Regardless, throughout the film, viewers still have no difficulty understanding and sympathizing with the character’s psychological developments, even the vast, tear-jerking spaces that the director wants to expand.

Director Hong Anh was truly reckless when he bet the important roles of the script that had been cherished for 10 years on two young, talented actors.

Island of the Dwellers is a pretty good independent creation by the director and crew.
