Stranded is remarkable documentary filmmaking, unflinching and full of unlikely grace. Go to Full Review
Steven Rea Philadelphia Inquirer 12/11/2008
4/4
A tale of horror, heroism, unimaginable physical challenges, and, yes, cannibalism, Stranded offers the kind of real-life drama that can't help but bring up notions of God, fate, and nature's imposing will. Go to Full Review
John Hartl Seattle Times 12/05/2008
3.5/4
Stranded is a magnificent achievement: a true nonfiction epic that makes its predecessors seem puny. What were the Academy Awards voters thinking when they recently rejected it from this year's documentary competition? Go to Full Review
Tim Heffernan Esquire Magazine 10/18/2018
It is a documentary. And it is built largely not out of images but words. That's not to say it's visually dull - it's actually stunning much of the time - but its strength comes from the stories that are told. Go to Full Review

Celso O 07/21/2024 Excelentes interpretações dos atores, filme muito paupável e bem realizado See more Nayara F 03/18/2024 La Sociedad de la nieve is a adventure bases in a real history. Enzo Vogrincic and Matias Recalt are in it. The takes place in 1972 in the Latin América. Its about the flight that fell in the Cordilheira dos Andes. I give it 5 out of 5 stars and recommend it to adults that like a good real history. See more 03/04/2016 Stranded is the story of survival of 16 members of a Uruguan rugby team from the mouths of the survivors themselves. Surprisingly spiritual reflections of concepts of "society/community", "God/fate", "The Mountain/Nature". The subject of cannibalism is dealt with sensitively. JDT: 5/5. I remember that certain people were saying that they were using the spiritual to excuse cannibalism, but this movie disproves that theory. For some it really was a communion, as one of the survivors said, he still feels them talking to him. See more 10/25/2015 An excellent documentary on the Andes tragedy that manages to tell the story gracefully through the survivor's testimony. See more 03/19/2015 awesome doc better than the 'Hollywood version" of this See more 04/10/2014 The incredible true story of the 14 men that survived the plane crash in the Andes Mountains & survived for 72+ days with out proper food. It's covers all of them on a personal level & it truly is extraordinary what they do to survive the power of the human spirit. The final trek of 2 men that ended up bumping into a shepherd that ultimately saved their lives. It's a powerful story of what humans are capable of, great documentary! See more Read all reviews
