Review of Aloft (2014) by Lourdes T — 18 May 2015
Although the film is set in the modern word it's steeped in mysticism and superstition. It gives the film a post-apocalyptic feel. The desolate snow covered settings leave the viewer's feeling as isolated as the characters.
Underneath the mysticism is a wonderful character-based story with powerful performances from Connelly, Cillian Murphy and Melanie Laurent. There are several Oscar worthy moments scattered throughout the film.
Many questions are posed, yet few are answered. It leaves the views to ask their own questions. How can you truly experience joy when you haven't experienced pain and suffering? I would definitely recommend this film.
