Rating:  - Lucy Irvine's review, from the UK
I found that lucy Irving wrote a comment on the movie. Go to: Amazon UK. Castaway, VHS (not DVD) and see what she has to say about the movie. It will answer some questions. I will add additional comments, after I read Gerald Kingsland's book, "the Islander" (very hard to find in the USA) You can (and should) buy Lucy Irving's book, "Castaway". It's available on Amazon, for
ten cents, on up. Certainly the price is right.
Rating: - Beautiful study of the search 4 that love beyond sexualilty
I consider this movie a must see for one category of people and a don't waste your time for another category. I predict that eventually, this movie will become a valued "one-of-a-kind" classic which will long outlast many of the classics of the 80's and 90's. Read "all customer reviews" to see the wide diversity of good and bad mixed reviews to better understand my point.

The day dream of anyone I ever met, put to screen in a fairly representative version of the book by Lucy Irvine who actually did pursue her dream of living on a deserted Island.
The pitfalls and a honeymoon gone to trash upon arrival pose questions we all need to ask ourselves.
The scenery is gorgeous and if you ever wanted to walk naked on a deserted beach in a remote corner of the Indian Ocean. This is a movie worth watching and sharing with your loved one.
Rating:  - They have to be kidding to give more than 3 stars!
They have to be kidding to give this more than 3 stars! Lets start with the film making.. Its aweful. With the setting they had the cinematography could have been breathtaking, it isn't. The technology existed in 1987. But this is a poorly shot movie.
Editing. As poor as the filming was, the editing is very unpolished and poorly done, some might say choppy.
Script. The poor editing AND a poor script make this difficult to watch when Donahoe is NOT on screen.

Rating: - ACTING
I came across this film again,
I saw it first some years ago,
Two people, island, stranded game,
The best of acting I have known.
He's tough; she's beautiful and gay,
The island - paradise and dreamlike,
They had agreed to stay away
From civil pleasures and the mankind.
But isolation, lack of food,
The mental strain and aggravation,
Took toll in settling the mood
With angry fighting and frustration.
The sores had healed of proper care
