Review of Adrift (2018)

By Rendy Jones (321) for Rendy Reviews (320) on 23 Aug 2018

Review of Adrift (2018)

By Damien Straker (239) for Impulse Gamer (252) on 22 Jul 2018

Review of Adrift (2018)

By Mabel Salinas (101) for Cine Premiere (538) on 21 Jul 2018

The work of Woodley and Claflin as well as the direction of Kormákur raise this story of two lovers alone against the immensity of the sea…

Review of Adrift (2018)

By Matthew Toomey (680) for ABC Radio Brisbane (680) on 17 Jul 2018

Adrift has tempted me to do more reading about the real-life people involved (so that's a good thing) but as a standalone movie, it's not as…

Review of Adrift (2018)

By Martin Roberts (187) for Fan The Fire (489) on 04 Jul 2018

Yes, some of the structural elements are familiar, and it probably won't surprise you too often, but it's a well put together piece of drama…

By Jim Schembri (1,298) for 3AW (1,025) on 03 Jul 2018

Review of Adrift (2018)

By Hilary A White (243) for Sunday Independent (Ireland) (504) on 01 Jul 2018
