★ 7.3 editorial score
Nothing else has made space feel this physically dangerous: Cuaron opens on a shot running almost thirteen minutes, and ninety minutes later you notice you stopped breathing.
“Though the film is an amazing technical feat on every level, it works because it foregrounds the humanity of its characters, both their spirits and the fragile bodies they inhabit. That’s the whole of its story—at heart a classic survival tale of limited resources, applied ingenuity, and resilient spirits—however impressive its outer-space trappings.”
