All is Lost (Drama,
not rated, 110 minutes). Written and Directed by J.C. Chandor;
Starring Robert Redford. Our man (Redford) wakes up one morning to
find his yacht ripped apart by a shipping container. Stranded on a
quickly sinking vessel in the middle of the Indian Ocean, he must
battle the elements in order to survive and, hopefully, find
redemption. Redford is a mesmerizing protagonist, effortlessly
carrying the weight of this film on his shoulders. Between the
cinematography and the heart-wrenching score (provided by Edward
Sharpe and the Magnetic Zeros' frontman Alex Ebert), the film
succeeds in captivating the audience without ever relying on dialogue
to tell the story. Rating: Five Stars.
