Shutter Island

Well I'll make it short here, because discussing this movie without spoiling anything is way too tricky and to spoil anything would be just unforgiveable.

At least can it be said that Scorcese delivers a masterclass in storytelling, on how to slowly but surely capture the audience in order not only to make it believe anything, but also to make it physically go through what the main character does...
The cast supporting this is wonderful and DiCaprio shows once more that he's definitely more than the good-looking guy from Titanic.

And the result is a beautiful magic trick.
You have to be able to stomach it, as the pathos is quite strong. But I found that what stayed with me was the pleasure of having been tricked and working out how all the pieces of the puzzle brilliantly fit together.

It's always an honor to see a master at work...
