Top Critics' Reviews
Fresh: Elegantly scripted, elegantly acted and elegant looking, by avoiding obvious dramatic fireworks, Adrift turns out to be a slow-burning, coming of age sparkler.
Fresh: The shores of Buzios in Brazil beckon in a drama about infidelity and sexual awakening which mainly settles for being easy on the eye.
Rotten: The tale is told competently enough, but the central relationship between the parents, Clarice and Mathias, is unsatisfying...
Fresh: Dhalia gives the film a glossy sheen (with the slightest undercurrent of Oedipal tension), but Adrift never really moves beyond the tale of one little rich girl's awakening.
Customer Reviews
True Art.
Great Film! Great acting! The characters, so flawed, paint a beautiful portrait of romance, betrayal, lust, and the struggle to keep there commitments to one another alive. It's a roller coaster of emotions that define what makes a cinematic drama the naked truth of art and utter expression. Focus Features does it once more!
Amazing
