Deep into a solo voyage in the Indian Ocean, an unnamed man (Redford) wakes to find his 39-foot yacht taking on water after a collision with a shipping container left floating on the high seas. With his navigation equipment and radio disabled, the man sails unknowingly into the path of a violent storm. Despite his success in patching the breached hull, his mariner's intuition and a strength that belies his age, the man barely survives the tempest. Using only a sextant and nautical maps to chart his progress, he is forced to rely on ocean currents to carry him into a shipping lane in hopes of hailing a passing vessel. But with the sun unrelenting, sharks circling and his meager supplies dwindling, the ever-resourceful sailor soon finds himself staring his mortality in the face.
Leave your thoughts about All Is Lost.
| Spirituality and PracticeFrederic and Mary Ann BrussatAn immersive drama about being resilient and facing the fear we all have of dying alone; one of the Best Films of 2013. |
| The New York TimesA.O. ScottThe ancient Greeks believed that character should be revealed through action. I can’t think of another film that has upheld this notion so thoroughly and thrillingly. There is certainly no other actor who can command our attention — our empathy, our loyalty, our love — with such efficiency. |
| 3AWJim SchembriSuperb, a brilliantly conceived, first-person masterpiece, totally immersive and compelling from first frame to last. It's easily one of the best survival films ever made, even with Gravity dominating everybody's praise. |
| Cinema em CenaPablo VillaçaO rosto envelhecido, marcado e expressivo (e ainda belo) de Redford comunica uma infinidade de ideias e sentimentos com o mínimo esforço. |
| FILMINK (Australia)Tom CliftThis is the most compelling tale of nautical peril since Steven Spielberg's Jaws. |
| Birmingham Mail Graham Youngthe film generates a wonderful sense of claustrophobia on the open sea. Imagine a movie with the lyrical beauty of a Terrence Malick project crossed with the virtuosity of Tom Hanks in Cast Away. |
| Financial TimesNigel AndrewsChandor's movie gives us the Hemingwayish essentials and then some. |
| The SkinnyPhilip Concannon[Redford] gives a commanding performance as the nameless protagonist that makes the complete lack of characterisation an irrelevance. |
| Independent (UK)Geoffrey MacnabIt's the detail and precision of his storytelling style that makes All Is Lost so engrossing. |
| Empire MagazineChris Hewitt (UK)A triumph of pure cinema and wonderful visual storytelling from Chandor, who must now be considered the real deal, while Redford is sublime in what could well be the performance of his career. |
