The film's length may well be intended to mirror the 72-day ordeal, but it's relentlessly wearing and lacking in nutritive fiber.

One of the most astonishing and inspiring survival tales of all time. On October 13, 1972, a young rugby team from Montevideo, Uruguay, boarded a plane for a match in Chile—and then vanished into thin air. Two days before Christmas, 16 of the 45 passengers miraculously resurfaced. They had managed to survive for 72 days after their plane crashed on a remote Andean glacier. Thirty-five years later, the survivors returned to the crash site—known as the Valley of Tears—to recount their harrowing story of defiant endurance and indestructible friendship.
We hate to say it, but we can't find anywhere to view this film.

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.
Arijon's choice to film the survivors returning to the Andes with their children pays huge dividends, leading to an ending that puts the real meaning of their ordeal in moving terms.
Entertainment Weekly by Owen Gleiberman
At once scary and stirring.
Christian Science Monitor by Peter Rainer
At just over two hours, Stranded is nonstop harrowing. It has cumulative power.
The New York Times by Stephen Holden
Gonzalo Arijón’s documentary offers an incontrovertible argument for the necessity of team spirit in the face of catastrophe.
So powerful is Stranded that when the lucky few finally make their way back to civilization, you feel as thrilled as if they were your own loved ones.
