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.
Top CriticAll Is Lost was clearly a challenge to produce, and it makes its own demands on its viewers. It's a worthwhile effort on both counts.
A signal film achievement and the capstone to a great star's career. This is Ultimate Redford.
Robert Redford gives an impressive one-man show in this sea-stranded survival tale.
From bow to stern Chandor delivers pure cinema
All Is Lost is a movie that is understated, yet still manages to play out on a staggeringly huge canvas; the personal and the universal one and the same.
Forsaking the chatter of his risibly exposition-heavy MARGIN CALL (11), and one-upping LIFE OF PI by stripping things down to the bare minimum, Chandor charts an admirably uncompromising if curiously aloof course into nothingness.
All the drama we need is in the moment, and that's where the movie stays.
A film that very eloquently provides an argument for the survival of heroes, or at least one hero.
For the most part The Immigrant is works in an incredibly satisfying and affecting manner.
...Chandor who had already impressed us in a very different manner with his first film, here shows himself in a new light, that showcases his technical aptitude and remarkable sense of pacing and rhythm.
Redford's fiercely committed and quite brilliant performance is the reason to see this daringly minimalist, slightly overlong curio.
Engrossing both dramatically and as a minimalist narrative exercise, All Is Lost is a survival-at-sea story powered by an emphasis on realism and a refusal to allow any false emotional beats to impede on this unsentimental tale.
The film's scope is limited, but as far as it goes, All Is Lost is very good indeed: a neat idea, very nimbly executed.
Redford delivers a tour de force performance: holding the screen effortlessly with no acting support whatsoever.
A grim and rather relentless analogy for the slow march towards death: every bad thing can and does happen, with almost comical inevitability, and by the hour mark, you find yourself begging for a shark attack that might put poor Red out of his misery.
