Q Network Film Desk
3 stars out of 4 -- [A] warmly hilarious movie....Writer-director Raymond De Felitta tells his story modestly, but his gift for laughs laced with charm and bristling humanity is utterly irresistible.
Rolling Stone
Rating: 3/5 --
I won't make great claims for Raymond De Felitta's film - it hardly makes them for itself - but I will say this for it: as an ensemble acting workout, it exceeds expectations from the top down.

Garcia does a powerful job and his co-stars support him perfectly. [Full review in Spanish]

Rating: C --
Andy Garcia is a pleasant enough guide to almost rate a visit to this City, but all the conflict here lies on the surface.

Shared Darkness
The slice-of-life comedy City Island is a charming throwback filled with authentic characters.
St. Louis Post-Dispatch
3 stars out of 4 -- Garcia and Marguiles, who worked so well together in George Hickenlooper's MAN FROM ELYSIAN FIELDS, show a sure feel for comedy here...

Product Description:
A dysfunctional family living on a picturesque island in the Bronx spares no expense in avoiding the truth about their messed-up lives in writer/director Raymond de Felitta's dark family comedy. The family patriarch, Vince (Andy Garcia) is a prison guard who is secretly plotting a new career as an actor. Meanwhile, as Vince takes acting lessons on the down low, his daughter moonlights as a stripper and his younger namesake harbors a secret fetish that involves the family's 300-pound neighbor. Under normal circumstances Vincent's wife, Joyce (Julianna Margulies), would be the family rock, but lately she's been preoccupied with uncovering the identity of the hired help, a secret that only her husband knows.
