  Beginner | Shailene Woodley is either a pyschopath or a great actress, I haven't decided yet. I didn't read up on the true story beforehand, which made the twists all the better. While the storyline had limited flexibility in its baseline of facts, I thought the visuals could have improved and been more intense. For a film that takes place mostly at sea, I never felt like I was there until the "big storm", and even then, it wasn't quite what I thought it should have been. Put this on your list of movies to rent or stream, but keep expectations low. | Jan 22, 2019 | ||
 Beginner | I really enjoyed this movie. I absolutely loved the cinematography. It was such a breathtakingly beautiful film. It was reminiscent of The Beach meets The Perfect Storm, meets Castaway. I loved all three of those films and Adrift embodied my favorite aspects of each one of them. Director Baltasar Kormákur was able to perfectly communicate his deep love, adoration, and respect for the ocean and brought out amazing performances from Shailene Woodley and Sam Claflin. It is absolutely unbelievable that this beautiful and amazing story of survival was completely based on a true story and real events. I can't wait to see it again! | Jan 22, 2019 |
