During a solo voyage in the Indian Ocean, a veteran mariner (Robert Redford) awakes to find his vessel taking on water after a collision with a stray shipping container. With his radio and navigation equipment disabled, he sails unknowingly into a violent storm and barely escapes with his life. With any luck, the ocean currents may carry him into a shipping lane -- but, with supplies dwindling and the sharks circling, the sailor is forced to face his own mortality.

Critics Consensus

Anchored by another tremendous performance in a career full of them, All Is Lost offers a moving, eminently worthwhile testament to Robert Redford's ability to hold the screen.

Jason Bailey

Flavorwire

A vital, exciting piece of work from Mr. Redford, an actor whom you'd have been forgiven for counting out by now.

The Australian

It's a rare example of pure cinema, and that, in itself, gives it a stature to which few Hollywood films these days aspire.

Rated: 4.5/5

It’s engaging, thrilling and speaks to something about the human spirit that is inspiring. Easily one of the year’s best indie films.

Deep Focus Review

All is Lost is a commendable and engaging motion picture, but also a rare achievement in spare filmmaking.

Rated: 3/4

Keith & the Movies

With only a man, a boat, and the vast sea, Chandor shows his versatility as a filmmaker by embracing the confines of his environment and making a movie that feels grander than it may be.

Rated: 4.5/5

Total garbage. It wants the audience to believe he’s never been at sea for the idiotic mistakes he makes. Critics love it as it is Robert Redford the Socialist starring in it. Awful.

Filme ruim e forçado, o roteiro é fraco e forçado, as cenas são fracas e forçadas, a história é fraca, o elenco é fraco, e ninguém ajuda a melhorar o filme, os personagens são fracos, e o filme deveria ter cenas bem melhores e relevantes, para fazer o filme ser bom, esse velho tem azar para caralho, vai se fude, o velho perdeu o barco, o bote, e também o bote reserva, vai toma no cu, eu não recomendo esse filme.

Possibly the worst movie i have ever watched. Total lack of common sense. Had he ever been on a boat before this voyage? I wanted to drown him myself to shorten his (and my) suffering.

I'm not a sailor and I was completely engaged, talking to myself attempting to predict what I would do in a squall. A very good movie. Redford teaches us you don't need explosions and even dialogue. Stick with it and you'll be a nervous wreck... like the boat.

All these sailors giving 1 stars need to get lost. This isn't a sailing documentary. I can understand why it would be annoying but that doesn't make it a bad movie. Those of us who don't sail don't know or care about getting the details right. This is an epically good movie which I've watched 4 times already. To make such a great film with so little talking really requires top top top notch acting and Redford does not disappoint.

Rated 5 out of 5 stars

Hands down, the dumbest, most sailing ignorant sailing movie ever made. It's not even close. If you sail, or just know how to tie a bowline, this move will drive you nuts. The sailing faux pas are too numerous to go into here. Utterly silly movie.
