eye Weekly (Canada)Jason Anderson Though he loses his grasp on the work as a whole and unwisely lets Shutter Island sail past the tidy two-hour mark it otherwise merited, the movie’s most extreme measures should satisfy any connoisseur of cinematic derangement.

Rolling Stone (US)Peter Travers Shutter Island sizzles with so much nerve-frying suspense that it’s hot to the touch.
