Gravity

"A work of great narrative simplicity and visual complexity, it’s this image that speaks most eloquently to Cuaron’s gifts as a filmmaker" 

"Cuarón is a true visionary. (...) he turns Gravity into a thing of transcendent beauty and terror. It's more than a movie. It's some kind of miracle. (...) Rating: ★★★★ (out of 4)" 

"It's a nerve-wracking visual experience of unusual and paradoxical delicacy. And if your stomach can take it, it's truly something to see. (...) Rating: ★★★½ (out of 4)" 

"'Gravity' is about as visceral an experience as you can have in a cinema, it’s a technical marvel, and it’s a blockbuster with heart and soul in spades. It’s about the best opening to a film festival that you could ask for" 

"A visual triumph even if its storytelling is less than sure-footed. (...) the plotting never quite matches its visual imagination. (...) Even so, this is a film that, at its best, really does induce a sense of wonder. (...) Rating: ★★★★ (out of 5)" 

"Thrilling, and as close to feeling like you're in space as most of us will ever be. (...) Alfonso Cuaron's jaw-dropping space thriller. (...) with interludes of breath-catching tension and startling surprise." 

"Alfonso Cuaron’s 3D space odyssey is visually spectacular despite a thin plot. (...) Rating: ★★★★ (out of 5)"
