Film Review - All is Lost
November 04, 2013
Throughout his storied career, Robert Redford has been drawn to tales concerning the tranquility and unpredictability of nature. It’s in the man’s blood, explored in pictures such as “Jeremiah Johnson” and even the poetry of stillness found in “A River Runs Through It.” “All is Lost” is perfect material for Redford, playing to his strengths of internalization and measured physicality, and he provides an exceptional lead performance in writer/director J.C. Chandor’s sublimely straightforward tale of oceanic endurance. Working only with a sinking boat, a willing star, and the open water, and the helmer is able to create one of the most suspenseful, striking features of 2013. Read the rest at Blu-ray.com
