I viewed this film when it first came out in 2013 and was very impressed by the story line, the photography, and the fact that Redford's character utters just a few words during the entire film. I watched it again a few days ago and was equally taken by his performance. I read that the cost of the film was only $8.5 million, a drop in the bucket compared to some of today's films, as most of the film was shot in a tank on a lot, with the crew going out to the ocean for ambient shots to edit in. It was done very well.
Redford has the innate ability to communicate complex emotional transitions non-verbally. He doesn't have to speak a word to show that he is a seasoned, and truly one of the great actors of our time.
Again, this film gets my "WOW" rating.

Don... I've been curious about this "WOW" rating of yours. My dad always threatened to get a "W" tattooed on each butt cheek so that when he bent over.... WOW!!!! Just in case you had a similar idea, i'm here to say that two thumbs up works just as well. (two thumbs up what i'm not saying!)

Do do I have that right. Trying not to visualize while I’m eating.

No, no tattoo here, especially one that would accentuate a certain bodily cavity! Can't stop laughing just thinking about that! i guess Siskel and Ebert had their thumbs up or thumbs down rating, and I just came up with my generic WOW rating because I found myself saying that out loud during some of these great films. I have a great great tattoo story I might have to pm to you.

I thought it was a great movie.
Word is that when Redford was nominated for the golden statue he was somewhat snubbed because of Castaway.
Kinda of a been there done that vibe.
Both movies hold their own but All is Lost is a much different movie and is Oscar worthy as well IMHO
