Sometimes I Wish I Was On a Desert Island is a poignant documentary that dives deep into the lives of Arabic-speaking LGBTQ+ individuals in Montreal post-pandemic.

The tone is reflective, almost melancholic, as it emphasizes stories of resilience against a backdrop of social prejudices that linger. What makes it distinctive is the raw honesty of the interviews and the sense of community that forms within the narrative. The pacing feels organic, allowing each story to breathe, highlighting not just their challenges but also moments of joy and liberation in a new home.
