The will to survive is moving enough-here it is, stripped to its elements, and if you can't bring yourself to care about something that simple then the problem is you, not the movies.
Top CriticIt's the salvation of the moviegoing year.
Chandor, who demonstrated a vivid talent for dialogue, mood, and characterization in the Wall Street meltdown movie Margin Call, here displays an ability to furiously carve up and then integrate a confined space.
An impressively spare, nearly dialogue-free stranded-at-sea drama starring a superb Robert Redford.
The camera rocks with the creaks, cracks, and other sounds of encroaching disequilibrium, while an actor in his element anchors your gaze-and gives the performance of his life.
All Is Lost is amazing, deeply moving, and a harking back to an age when the best mainstream films might be the best pictures America made.
Redford's finest hour.
Stranded and alone as he battles the stormy sea and his mortality, Robert Redford delivers a commanding lead performance in All Is Lost, a nearly wordless but captivating drama from J.C. Chandor.
Even as All Is Lost expands Chandor's range with a far more engaging and determined work, the true auteur of All Is Lost is Redford himself.
It's nothing new to watch an impressive survival story onscreen, but rare to see it done this well.
Redford gives the kind of career-capping performance many of his contemporaries could only dream of.
All Is Lost has moments of beauty, but the movie as a whole feels detached, almost clinical.
A mesmerizing, compelling and deeply profound high-seas adventure in which Robert Redford gives one of the most fulfilling and rewarding performances of his career.
A bravura performance in a gripping film that joins Gravity in the competition to be the year's most harrowing.
Despite all those critical hosannas coming out of Cannes, the movie stalls in the doldrums.
More than a dandy counterpoint to the megahit Gravity, J.C Chandor's thrilling adventure is also a remarkable existential ride.
Robert Redford will get a Best Actor Oscar nomination for this awesome, extraordinary adventure on an unforgiving sea.
In the tradition of Crane, London and Hemingway, 'All Is Lost' is unsermonized Man against Nature at the same time as Man against Himself.
A visually striking man versus nature story about enduring when the elements are conspiring against you.
Breaks story-telling conventions by deliberately focusing on a single character, one with no back story, all in the service of praising individuality, resilience and ingenuity.
An immersive drama about being resilient and facing the fear we all have of dying alone; one of the Best Films of 2013.
