The King Of Devil's Island (out May 3) is a powerful, affecting film that left me wishing I could jump from my seat and help its suffering characters. It's set in the early 20th Century on a remote island in Norway where a group of troubled boys are subjected a brutal disciplinary regime before being allowed to re-enter society. It's amazing. Grade: A.
