In the spirit of films like Touching the Void, Steven Callahan gives a gripping first-hand account in this documentary of his NYT bestselling novel "Adrift: 76 Days Lost At Sea." Brought to life with found 8MM footage, original stills of the time of the voyage, and first-person recreation. Still possessing many of the original artifacts, he takes us step-by-step through his harrowing and life-altering adventure.

3/4
Steven Callahan is a natural storyteller, and he speaks with a delightful, charming combination of a pragmatic scientist or tenured professor and a gregarious, accessible relative. Go to Full Review

6/10
It’s Callahan’s recounting of a lengthy, life threatening scenario that makes this one so compelling and riveting; less so the construction of the documentary itself. Go to Full Review
Pat Mullen POV Magazine Jan 14, 2026
For a film that relies so heavily on dramatic re-creations, the wealth of dramatic survival tales illustrate the film’s limitations by comparison. The visual design simply remains too adrift to emotionally engage a viewer. Go to Full Review
Bradley Gibson Film Threat Feb 17, 2024
8/10
From the comfort of a movie seat, one can ponder whether you would have the will to continue day by day. This is a journey worth making. The film is a gem of a ripping tale and a great example of human persistence in extreme circumstances. Go to Full Review
