The Legend of Cocaine Island Ratings & Reviews
Common Sense Media
Brian Costello
Offbeat docu has lots of drug talk, profanity.
The Daily Dot
Eddie Strait
The Legend of Cocaine Island has the elements of an insightful documentary, but a strong finished product remains out of reach.
Refinery29
Elena Nicolaou
To put it simply, Cocaine Island is blisteringly hilarious.
Los Angeles Times
Robert Abele
The details get repetitive, the turnabout you can see a mile away...
The Ringer
Brian Phillips
It's a fun 90 minutes. Rodney's trip to the island might not have gone as planned, but after all, it wasn't a total waste.
Decider
Joel Keller
The Legend Of Cocaine Island is hilarious and does a fine job of laying out the twists and turns in Rodney Hyden's amazing story.
San Antonio Current
Kiko Martinez
Director Theo Love ratchets up the storytelling by creating a hybrid type of exaggerated fairytale with meta-style re-enactments. Call this one Narcos for Dummies.

Thrillist
Christopher Campbell
What's fascinating enough on paper is far more outrageous in the documentary...sorry, Hollywood, no need for a remake of this.
RogerEbert.com
Brian Tallerico
Kind of like its subject, one wishes the film about him made a few smarter decisions.
New York Times
Elisabeth Vincentelli
Love is not judgmental about Hyden, and lets him be his sunny, deluded self - down to a willful obliviousness about the realities of drug trafficking and use.
Nonfics (Substack)
Brad Gullickson
The Legend of Cocaine Island is a riot. There are no genuine characters. Everyone is pretending, and everyone is making it up as they go along.
Film Pulse
Adam Patterson
Love presents a wildly entertaining, stranger-than-fiction doc that contains plenty of fascinating twists and turns along the way.
The Daily Beast
Nick Schager
There's no moralizing to be found in White Tide, as director Love revels in Rodney's misbehavior with unbridled, amused relish.
The Playlist
Andy Crump
If White Tide feels finessed, in other words, well, that's because it is to an extent. But it's also real, as told from the mouths of the people whose experiences provide its bedrock.
