What are critics saying?
Intimate, terrifying and positively riveting documentary.
Los Angeles Times by Kenneth Turan
An exceptional film, at once disturbing and elevating, deliberate yet powerful.

At once scary and stirring.

At just over two hours, Stranded is nonstop harrowing. It has cumulative power.
