United Kingdom	Andrew Pulver The Guardian	"Redford delivers a tour de force performance: holding the screen effortlessly with no acting support whatsoever (...) Rating: ★★★ (out of 5)"	POS
United Kingdom	Robbie Collin Telegraph	"The film's scope is limited, but as far as it goes, 'All Is Lost' is very good indeed: a neat idea, very nimbly executed (...) Rating: ★★★ (out of 5)"	POS
United States	Todd McCarthy The Hollywood Reporter	"Robert Redford keeps the film afloat (...) The general feel is one of creative resourcefulness and intelligent industry rather than radical experimentalism or creative cliff-diving"	POS
United States	Justin Chang Variety	"J.C. Chandor avoids the sophomore slump with an impressively spare, nearly dialogue-free stranded-at-sea drama starring a superb Robert Redford"	POS
United States	Peter Travers Rolling Stone	"Redford, who can play intelligence, wit and nuance to a camera like nobody's business, holds us in his grip. It's a master class in acting. (...) Rating: ★★★½ (out of 4)"	POS
United States	A. O. Scott The New York Times	"The ancient Greeks believed that character should be revealed through action. I can’t think of another film that has upheld this notion so thoroughly and thrillingly."	POS
United States	Claudia Puig USA Today	"Redford's expressions do nearly all of the communicating. He is the sole human cast member and utters only one word during the entire movie. (...) Rating: ★★★½ (out of 4)"	POS
