Yet the crushing disappointment of the film (which matches archive footage with contemporary reflections) is that nothing really happens. Jan 18, 2019 | Rating: 2/5 | Full Review…

It is an interesting story, and yet the film doesn't quite summon up the atmosphere of the raft. It doesn't fully plunge you into that strange milieu, nor does it quite analyse exactly what was going on. Jan 17, 2019 | Rating: 3/5 | Full Review…

Marcus Lindeen has the participants of a radical social experiment re-enact moments from their experience, bringing forth some moving confessions. Dec 31, 2018 | Rating: 4/5 | Full Review…

The surprisingly short leap from radical academic study to lurid exploitation is navigated with wit, sensitivity and rueful social awareness in Swedish director Marcus Lindeen's gripping debut feature "The Raft." Mar 26, 2018 | Full Review…

Lindeen had an exact replica of the raft constructed on a soundstage, and this gives the survivors an appropriately theatrical setting to conjure their experience of this real-life Big Brother scenario. Apr 18, 2019 | Full Review…

An absorbing portrait of a bold (or foolhardy) historical experiment that hits many of today's hot-button topics, dominated by a compelling and complex central figure. Jan 22, 2019 | Rating: 4/5 | Full Review…

As well as showing footage of the journey, the film reunites the crew's six female members and one of the men. Their discussion suggests -- touchingly -- that they have continued to nourish the kindness and diplomacy. Jan 22, 2019 | Rating: 4/5 | Full Review…

It's all splendid fruit for a documentary, especially given two things: the remarkable filmed record of the expedition at the time, and the fact that seven of its members are still alive. Jan 17, 2019 | Rating: 4/5 | Full Review…

If we all end up like this, we should be happy: prepossessing wrecks, blithely remembering the days we put to sea as vessels of youth, hoping we'd reach journey's end without destroying ourselves or each other. Jan 16, 2019 | Rating: 4/5 | Full Review…
