MOVIE REVIEWS: 'Gravity' Will Send You Over the Moon

Sandra Bullock is lost in space in this film co-starring George Clooney.

"Gravity" is rated PG-13 and runs 90 minutes.

Here's what the critics are saying:

Given the absurdly difficult technical requirements, Bullock’s performance is affectingly uncluttered and direct. — Ty Burr, The Boston Globe

Sandra Bullock, in the performance of a lifetime, spends most of this wondrous wallop of a movie lost in space, alone where no one can hear her scream. And because director Alfonso Cuarón, a master of pure cinema, puts us right up there with her in glorious 3D, you breathe like she does, feel like she does and panic like she does. — Peter Travers, Rolling Stone

The movie’s spirit, however, is far from nebulous. We hear of a past sadness that still hurts, yet “Gravity” is a celebration of humankind’s ability to pull itself up from nothingness and fight the unnerving fragility of us all.  — Joe Neumaier, New York Daily News

 “Gravity” is brief, strangely beautiful and deeply moving; far from being the sterile technical exercise it might have been, the film illustrates, better than any other I can think of this year, the aching way in which a heart longs for home. —  Moira Macdonald, Seattle Times
