Critics Consensus

Adrift sails smoothly between love story and survival drama, thanks in large part to a gripping central performance from Shailene Woodley.

Kermode & Mayo's Film Review

There are some moments in the film that won't necessarily work for everyone... I enjoyed it more than I thought.

Irish Times

A versatile actress with a good line in crumpled despair, Woodley does just enough to persuade us she'd be better off above water.

Rated: 3/5

Tami, too, employs great ingenuity, as do the creators of this kind of movie.

Rated: 3.5/5

Cinema Elite

Baltasar Kormákur’s latest is gripping—often heart-wrenching—as a survival drama, but works as effectively as a sweeping romance, thanks to its two exceptionally talented leading actors.

Rated: 4/5

Next Best Picture

This is nowhere near the level of other great survival stories, but there are enough effective occasions to see the potential this film could have achieved.

Rated: 6/10

Adrift somehow survives the late reveal, and the awkward structure, to remain an alluring meditation on the kind of love that carries water.

The problem with stories like this is that there are only two outcomes: they don't survive (depressing, feels pointless); they do survive (lacks real drama). Unless you add a twist that's been used before (and since) which sort of makes the whole thing redundant. Good lead performance but the film - like its title - was adrift

Tenho muito respeito pelo mar, por água no geral (já morri afogada), então esses filmes sempre me cativam e me emocionam, em se tratando de fatos reais, luta pela sobrevivência, coragem e determinação, maravilhoso exemplar, as idas e vindas nos flashbacks dos pombinhos foi o ponto forte bem como a atuação serelepe e sofrida de Shailene Woodley… O plot twist não me apeteceu, mas como alterar algo tão importante de biografias, infelizmente…

Very well directed and produced, Woodley is superb in this amazing true story. Adrift is genuinely emotional and the romance totally believable thanks to the strong chemistry between its leads.
