As gut-wrenching as it is inspirational, 127 Hours unites one of Danny Boyle's most beautifully exuberant directorial efforts with a terrific performance from James Franco.

It's an incredible performance by Franco, walking the line between what once was enthusiasm but now is manic desperation. Aug 12, 2011 | Rating: 4.5/5 | Full Review…

That director Danny Boyle makes us feel the shock of relief as Ralston finally pulls away from his stony prison signals just how immersive a piece of first-person story-telling this is. Feb 9, 2011 | Rating: 4/5 | Full Review…

At the end, we stagger like Ralston from the dark into the light. We might have both our arms left, but our nerves are just as terrorised. Jan 10, 2011 | Rating: 4/5 | Full Review…

Boyle is such a gifted filmmaker that, in his hands, 127 Hours is genuinely -- and unsentimentally -- inspirational. Nov 24, 2010 | Rating: 3.5/4 | Full Review…

127 Hours is a consistently gripping drama that puts us face to face with the question of what we would or even could do to save ourselves in a similar situation. Feb 18, 2019 | Rating: B+ | Full Review…

James Franco is compelling through an emotionally charged performance and shows what an actor can do with an intense screenplay and so little physical room to operate. Dec 30, 2018 | Rating: A- | Full Review…

An exceptionally made film, and further proof (if proof be needed) that Boyle is emerging as one of the most distinct directorial voices in contemporary cinema. Nov 6, 2018 | Rating: 4/5 | Full Review…

Any film that relies on one actor to carry the movie demands a lot of its leading man but James Franco applies a youthful exuberance that makes him so watchable it's all viewers could do not to blink. May 14, 2018

Boyle seems to care only about his own direction, as he invests in a heavy-handed, tumultuous approach, using everything from pointless subjective cameras to split screens, but leaves the story without a clear purpose. What saves the film, though, is Franco's strong performance.

Danny Boyle e James Franco, mostram seus talentos neste indicado ao Oscar.
That Sigur Ros music cue towards the end never fails to make me tear up.
An exciting start with lovely cinematography only serves to make the bulk of the movie seem painfully dull as our protagonist becomes literally stuck between a rock and hard place. Unfortunately, it's not really worth the pain.
