Guava Island Ratings & Reviews
COCO
5d ago
Donald Glover is a god amongst men.
IndieWire
Michael Nordine
"Guava Island" is a nice enough place to visit, but an hour there is more than enough.
Hyperallergic
Deena ElGenaidi
In many ways, Guava Island accomplishes exactly what it set out: create a fun, colorful, anti-capitalist romp that leaves viewers smiling.
idobi.com
Julian Lytle
Guava Island is a great first push into feature work, from the team that brings us the show Atlanta, and it whets the appetite for more film work from all of them.
Midwest Film Journal
Aly Caviness
A surprise genre-defying release from Donald Glover, featuring a subtly great performance from Rihanna.
High on Films
Shikhar Verma
It is easy to say that even though it's a casually charming collective of ferociously stiched notes, the overall experience that you get out of this half-baked allegory is also half-amusing.
The Atlantic
Hannah Giorgis
Glover and Murai assemble a magnetic cast who are, quite simply, a joy to watch.
Thrillist
Jourdain Searles
Guava Island's most damning sin is that it's unconvincing -- both aesthetically and in its assertion of Deni as a selfless, romantic, revolutionary hero.
Splice Today
Stephen Silver
Odd, and at times feels like a goof. But it encapsulates the filmmaking style of Glover, Murai and Co., and I was entertained throughout (Philadelphia Weekly)
Remezcla
Monica Castillo
Stripping away the island's identity inadvertently taps into the idea that the Caribbean islands - and Latin America or African countries, in general - are all just the same.
Dennis Schwartz Movie Reviews
Dennis Schwartz
It never fully works as a film that believes art can topple tyranny, but is nevertheless charming, musically festive and visually soothing.
Polygon
Karen Han
It's a proclamation made without any verve or conviction.
Common Sense Media
Michael Ordoña
Glover's short film mixes music, mild violence.
Vanity Fair
K. Austin Collins
There's relatively little dialogue, yet Guava Island still manages to drag, as if the filmmakers assumed its aesthetics would be enough.
AV Club
Joelle Monique
Its tight runtime and straightforward message, mixed with infectious music, makes the film an enjoyable weekend-morning stream.
New York Magazine/Vulture
Emily Yoshida
The Glover brothers and Murai have, as ever, no shortage of big questions and ideas to build their stories around...
Slate
Matthew Dessem
Murai's "This Is America" video made Glover's music sharper and more specific; Guava Island glops up the same music with a half-baked allegory that dulls every note. Steer clear.
New York Times
Jason Bailey
It feels very much like a movie a bunch of friends thought up late one night, perhaps while sharing a blunt, as a party was winding down. This is meant as a compliment.
RogerEbert.com
Nick Allen
Glover casts himself as a man of the people in the film-a rebel with some Childish Gambino songs in his heart-and its inspired however slight storytelling makes for another great display of Glover's many talents as an entertainer.
Variety
Peter Debruge
Plugs squarely into the zeitgeist, answering conflict with a call for love.
