- 100VarietyJustin ChangVarietyJustin ChangThe director’s long-overdue follow-up to “Children of Men” is at once a nervy experiment in blockbuster minimalism and a film of robust movie-movie thrills, restoring a sense of wonder, terror and possibility to the bigscreen.
- 100The Hollywood ReporterTodd McCarthyThe Hollywood ReporterTodd McCarthyAt once the most realistic and beautifully choreographed film ever set in space, Gravity is a thrillingly realized survival story spiked with interludes of breath-catching tension and startling surprise.

- 100TimeRichard CorlissTimeRichard CorlissGravity shows us the glory of cinema’s future. It thrills on so many levels. And because Cuarón is a movie visionary of the highest order, you truly can’t beat the view.
- 100Village VoiceStephanie ZacharekVillage VoiceStephanie ZacharekGravity is harrowing and comforting, intimate and glorious, the kind of movie that makes you feel more connected to the world rather than less.

So it’s a shame that – as is so often the case with groundbreaking effects movies – the emotional content can’t quite match up to the visual.
