About This Movie

Self Catering is an intriguing blend of comedy and drama that really leans into the quirks of human behavior when under extreme pressure. It's not just a survival story; it's a character study of five disparate individuals thrown together on a deserted island after a plane crash. The performances are a real highlight—Jane Horrocks and John Gordon Sinclair really capture their characters' idiosyncrasies beautifully. There's a certain charm in how the story explores themes of isolation and camaraderie. The pacing can be a bit uneven, but it offers these moments of levity amidst the tension. The dialogue is sharp, and you get some interesting dynamics at play, which makes it distinctive in the landscape of early '90s TV movies.
