2013 • dir Alfonso Cuarón w/Sandra Bullock, George Clooney • 91 min • DCP
A medical engineer on her first mission in space (Bullock) becomes stranded when an accident disables first the ship she is on and then seemingly every means of escape available. Cuarón has created a breathless thriller with a riveting performance from Bullock that required grueling hours alone surrounded by cameras to achieve.
Staff Pick! Billy: “Must see on the big screen.”
“Gravity’s great gift to the viewer is that it gives outer space back its beauty, terror, and wonder.”
– Dana Stevens, Slate
