9 Movie and TV Picks for June2 of 9
Adrift | Premieres in U.S. theaters Friday, June 1
Fans of Shailene Woodley are in for a treat and a surprise with this survival drama that tells the harrowing story of Tami Oldham Ashcraft's 41-day struggle for safety in the South Pacific Ocean. Woodley's performance here is eye-opening, as she's able to display a whole rainbow of emotions during various stages of Tami's life in Tahiti, from the giddiness and danger of young love to the paralyzing realization of imminent death. But most impressive is Woodley's ability to exceed the physical and technical challenges of the role: For much of the film, it's just the viewer and Woodley, as her character wrestles with solitude and the elements around her. And it's hard not to develop genuine admiration and wonder by movie's end. — Bret
