Resta con me

Adrift is a beautiful little tale about a young couple who fall foul of a severe storm while out boating.

Starring the underrated Shailene Woodley and Hunger Games star Sam Claflin it at it's core is a love story but like all love stories it's also a tragedy.

Based on a true story it plays out on two fronts, what is presently happening and the flashbacks that explain how it all came to be.

The movie is rather devoid of originality and we have seen it all before (Even the twist) but the film does have a strong cast and excellent cinematography to fall back on and that certainly rises it above the average.

I like Woodley, I expected her to have a considerably bigger career than she has and hope that competent little movies like this where she really shines can do something about that.

The film is utterly beautiful and worth your time even if you'll know exactly how it's going to play out.

The Good:

Very well acted

Visually stunning

The Bad:

Hardly original

Things I Learnt From This Movie:

When suffering from dehydration the best thing to do is drink alcohol

Why do I feel like Woodleys career has been eclipsed by Jennifer Lawrence?

Based on a true story. A bittersweet tale of high seas adventure, based on a true story. Worked well with flash backs to the back story. Well paced with excellent performances. Outstanding performance from Shailey Woodley. I can't imagine being lost at sea for that long, a total nightmare.

It's a great movie, it's just best that you go into it knowing as little about it as possible. The movie tells its own story and according to Tami it tells it very well. It's one of those that has you whispering "oh no" and "not again" every so often and you really feel as hopeless as the situation must have felt at the time.

It's also refreshing to have a movie that tells an exciting movie about ordinary people doing extraordinary things without something blowing up or morphing into a piece of machinery.

This is a movie about a real story and a real woman who is definitely special and brave. I liked it, the story is romantic, interesting and very touchable, I cried a lot. However, it is also sad and makes feel how is loose someone that you really love, but also how is survive lost in the ocean for many days. I think it is a very good movie.

Great movie that never lost my attention. Between the surprising twists (that I won't mention because they would be spoilers) and the intense action all through the movie I was glued to the screen. Shailene Woodley's great acting carried the movie like, in a smaller way, how Tom Hanks captivated in Cast Away. Definitely worth seeing. I would suggest see it without knowing much about the story.
