Critics Consensus

Adrift sails smoothly between love story and survival drama, thanks in large part to a gripping central performance from Shailene Woodley.

Very well directed and produced, Woodley is superb in this amazing true story. Adrift is genuinely emotional and the romance totally believable thanks to the strong chemistry between its leads.

I don't know why I liked this so much; maybe the vibe of 1980s around the world travellers, plus the gripping, romantic story.

Kermode & Mayo's Film Review

There are some moments in the film that won't necessarily work for everyone... I enjoyed it more than I thought.

Irish Times

A versatile actress with a good line in crumpled despair, Woodley does just enough to persuade us she'd be better off above water.

Rated: 3/5

Tami, too, employs great ingenuity, as do the creators of this kind of movie.

Rated: 3.5/5

Next Best Picture

This is nowhere near the level of other great survival stories, but there are enough effective occasions to see the potential this film could have achieved.

Rated: 6/10

Adrift somehow survives the late reveal, and the awkward structure, to remain an alluring meditation on the kind of love that carries water.

College Movie Review

For almost the entire runtime, the only people onscreen are Woodley and Clafin, with Woodley doing most of the talking and action. Unfortunately, she isn't up to the task.
