Adrift is a beautiful little tale about a young couple who fall foul of a severe storm while out boating.
Starring the underrated Shailene Woodley and Hunger Games star Sam Claflin it at it's core is a love story but like all love stories it's also a tragedy.
Based on a true story it plays out on two fronts, what is presently happening and the flashbacks that explain how it all came to be.
The movie is rather devoid of originality and we have seen it all before (Even the twist) but the film does have a strong cast and excellent cinematography to fall back on and that certainly rises it above the average.
I like Woodley, I expected her to have a considerably bigger career than she has and hope that competent little movies like this where she really shines can do something about that.
The film is utterly beautiful and worth your time even if you'll know exactly how it's going to play out.
The Good:
Very well acted
Visually stunning
The Bad:
Hardly original
Things I Learnt From This Movie:
When suffering from dehydration the best thing to do is drink alcohol
Why do I feel like Woodleys career has been eclipsed by Jennifer Lawrence?
