Metacritic reviews

At just over two hours, Stranded is nonstop harrowing. It has cumulative power.

Intimate, terrifying and positively riveting documentary.

An exceptional film, at once disturbing and elevating, deliberate yet powerful.

So powerful is Stranded that when the lucky few finally make their way back to civilization, you feel as thrilled as if they were your own loved ones.

Arijon's choice to film the survivors returning to the Andes with their children pays huge dividends, leading to an ending that puts the real meaning of their ordeal in moving terms.

Gonzalo Arijón’s documentary offers an incontrovertible argument for the necessity of team spirit in the face of catastrophe.

At once scary and stirring.

Not for the faint of heart.

A documentary constructed from re-enactments, talking heads and no actual footage of the story it tells, but that still packs a knock-out punch.

The film's length may well be intended to mirror the 72-day ordeal, but it's relentlessly wearing and lacking in nutritive fiber.
