Perhaps this is in limited release so no one has seen it. A terrific performance by Robert Redford. No backstory, no dialog, riveting.

So it's castaway?

I saw it a couple weeks ago, loved it. Amazing performance by Redford, too bad he won't win the Oscar (Chiwetel Ejiofor has that wrapped up). The storm sequence is riveting, like watching a slow motion car crash.

Don't we have another thread on this?

Just saw this---really good. Redford does a nice job of portraying a sailor who is past his prime physicaly, but is really smart, experienced, calm and resourceful. You just get your hopes up for the character and the situation, and then things go right downhill again.

It's funny, other than the opening narration and some distress calls to others, I believe Redford only utters a single word of monologue in the whole film:

Dr. DVD

I think Redford might have an edge with the whole Lifetime Achievement factor. True, he already has an Oscar, but it's for directing.

Saw this last week and really liked it. A mix of Life of Pi with a bit of Gravity as well. I loved that we truly knew nothing about the character other than he has some regrets about life as told in the letter V.O.

watched this last night and thought it was great. redford has still got it. really well done. didn't crack my top 10 for the year but certainly honorable mention. 4/5

Why So Blu?

Saw it this morning and at first I was conflicted but then it hit me like a ton of bricks. It really was a brilliant film. I have to write the review up but I will say that the sound is demo and from what I've just read it's been nominated for best sound - rightfully so.

Great movie. Had me riveted until the end. Altho I'm curious as to what you think happened?

Why So Blu?

I think

This x 10. Redford should have been nominated over Dern. The film was also more Best Picture worthy over "Nebraska".

TheMovieman

IDK, I wasn't as enamored as some here. Yes, Redford was fantastic and deserved a nomination but the movie on the whole didn't grab me on an emotional level, but was still entertaining and never got dull despite virtually no dialogue.

Naw, not taking anything away from Redford - but I thought Dern gave the better performance - VERY believable and authentic performance. If anything, Redford should've been nominated over DiCaprio.

The sequence where DiCaprio is trying to get into his car while on ludes is the best physical acting of all of last year. I liked 'All is Lost', but as far as acting goes DiCaprio was much more deserving IMHO.

Daytripper

Now that I agree with. But I was just talking to several of my friends a few days ago who saw "Nebraska", and all felt any older actor could have turned in the same performance as Dern. If not better. None of us were blown away from it. I liked the film overall more than my friends.

Decided to pick up the Blu-ray of this tonight and watched it. Good movie and a very impressive performance by Redford. Definitely felt bad for him and all the shit luck he had the entire film.

Watched it this morning and thought it was great. I liked how calm Redford's character remained despite all the shit going down around him.

Also, I can't remember the last time I laughed as hard as I did when Redford screamed "FUUUUUUUCK!!" Reminded me of this meme



Anyway, I really enjoyed it and
