Upon release, Shutter Island polarized critics. Some found the plotting too convoluted, while others hailed it as a masterpiece of psychological tension. The legendary critic Roger Ebert gave the film a glowing review, describing it as "Martin Scorsese's evocation of the delicious shuddering fear we feel when horror movies are about something." He noted that while some critics felt the ending came "out of the blue," the uncertainty is intentional, stating, "The uncertainty it causes prevents the film from feeling perfect on first viewing".
The film highlights the historical clash in 1950s psychiatry between old-school radical treatments (like lobotomies) and the emerging wave of psychotropic drugs. It questions who holds the real power when an institution operates completely isolated from the rest of society.
