I’ve never been a big fan of Robert Redford, but I’m on the J.C. Chandor train after Margin Call, the director’s strikingly assured debut, a behind-the-scenes financial crisis drama. All is Lost, however, is earning the up-and-coming helmer some of the best reviews of his already strong career, a tale of a man struggling to survive at sea. Redford is assured an Oscar nomination for Chandor’s tour-de-force work, hailed as a minimalist masterpiece.
