Review of Adrift (2018) by Kenr — 07 Mar 2022
Engaging from the very first frame this drama based on Tami Oldham Ashcraft’s real-life survival story places the viewer in some very challenging situations. With excellent special effects we are taken out to sea, then tested beyond the expected limits of endurance - to survive the awesomeness posed by the cradle of life - the sea in all its splendor and ferocity.
Shailene Woodley (also Co-producer) and Sam Claflin are marvelous as newly engaged lovers, employed to transport a luxury Yacht back to its destined port. What follows is a harrowing voyage, a challenge to arrive at any destination whatsoever, alive.
Cinematography by multiple Award-winner Robert Richardson adds enormously. Water is a difficult element to work with and recreate but here, is near perfection. This better than average survival story, coupled with an honest, engagingly told approach, features a strikingly emotional revelation of the human spirit at its close.
Highly recommended.
