Throughout his storied career, Robert Redford has been drawn to tales
concerning the tranquility and unpredictability of nature. It’s in the
man’s blood, explored in pictures such as “Jeremiah Johnson” and even
the poetry of stillness found in “A River Runs Through It.” “All is
Lost” is perfect material for Redford, playing to his strengths of
internalization and measured physicality, and he provides an exceptional
lead performance in writer/director J.C. Chandor’s sublimely
straightforward tale of oceanic endurance. Working only with a sinking

create one of the most suspenseful, striking features of 2013.
