All is Lost (2013)

 Robert Redford, in his mid 70's helms alone, and with only around 3 lines of dialogue, this story of a man lost at sea. His private yacht is punctured by an adrift cargo container and over the 8 day of the story he must do battle with the elements and failing equipment in desperate struggle for survival. The movie gets more gripping the more time passes, it's a rather impressively shot film, and a physically demanding one for Redford who does an exceptional job with a lot to do and not much to say. ***1/3.
