	Media	Author	Review
		Justin Chang Variety	"A work of great narrative simplicity and visual complexity, it’s this image that speaks most eloquently to Cuaron’s gifts as a filmmaker"
		Peter Travers Rolling Stone	"Cuarón is a true visionary. (...) he turns Gravity into a thing of transcendent beauty and terror. It's more than a movie. It's some kind of miracle. (...) Rating: ★★★★ (out of 4)"
		Michael Phillips Chicago Tribune	"It's a nerve-wracking visual experience of unusual and paradoxical delicacy. And if your stomach can take it, it's truly something to see. (...) Rating: ★★★½ (out of 4)"
		Oliver Lyttelton IndieWire	"'Gravity' is about as visceral an experience as you can have in a cinema, it’s a technical marvel, and it’s a blockbuster with heart and soul in spades. It’s about the best opening to a film festival that you could ask for"
		Geoffrey Macnab The Independent	"A visual triumph even if its storytelling is less than sure-footed. (...) the plotting never quite matches its visual imagination. (...) Even so, this is a film that, at its best, really does induce a sense of wonder. (...) Rating: ★★★★ (out of 5)"
		Todd McCarthy The Hollywood Reporter	"Thrilling, and as close to feeling like you're in space as most of us will ever be. (...) Alfonso Cuaron's jaw-dropping space thriller. (...) with interludes of breath-catching tension and startling surprise."
		Derek Malcolm London Evening Standard	"Alfonso Cuaron’s 3D space odyssey is visually spectacular despite a thin plot. (...) Rating: ★★★★ (out of 5)"
		Mark Adams Screendaily	"A genuinely tense and exciting lost-in-space thriller, Alfonso Cuaron's exhilarating and often spectacular 3-D film is a real pleasure, driven by top-notch lead performance from Sandra Bullock and George Clooney as well as some seriously cool special effects."
		Claudia Puig USA Today	"[It] immerse us in an unforgettable personal story. (...) Rating: ★★★★ (out of 4)"
		A. O. Scott The New York Times	"For all of Mr. Cuarón’s formal wizardry and pictorial grandeur, he is a humanist at heart."
		FilmAffinity	Director James Cameron's opinion about the film in Variety: “I was stunned, absolutely floored. I think it’s the best space photography ever done, I think it’s the best space film ever done, and it’s the movie I’ve been hungry to see for an awful long time."
