“Film as dream, film as music. No form of art goes beyond ordinary consciousness as film does, straight to our emotions, deep into the twilight room of the soul.” – Ingmar Bergman.
Is it appropriate to open a review for a sci-fi film, a Sandra Bullock movie, with a quote as heavy-handed as this one? Since I did it, obviously I think so, because the only other phrase I could think of that would tersely sum up my feelings toward ‘Gravity‘ goes something like, “Aggghghghghghhhdhhghhhh! *droool *drool *drool” and that makes me look like an idiot.
‘Gravity’ is direct, brilliant, brutal stuff, with Bullock perfectly cast in a role of a lifetime. It is relentless, important and, let’s not undersell this, completely entertaining. It may be my favorite movie of 2013. 10/10
Nicole, I'm already struggling with the fact that Avantgardeplause won't make IFPI and I have to wait until the summer of 2014 to see Jolie on a movie screen. Please don't force me to read those reviews for neonazi Bullock her movie.
