The remorseless sea hands Robert Redford more than his fair share of shitty deals in director J.C. Chandor's one-man survival film All Is Lost.
With about 45 seconds worth of dialogue throughout the 106 minute long film, Redford relies on his body movement and facial expressions to carry the entire movie and he does so with moving grace. As vast as the ocean might be, the scope is small but speaks hugely of resilience, resourcefulness and the value of life.
Some will scratch their heads screaming "gimmick", while others will admire the challenge and rewards the film offers to those who enjoy something a little different.
