Don't wish away time, don't even try to speed it up

Rating: 9/10 (11 January 2019)

What a superb masterpiece. Tom Hanks really shines in this gripping tale of life before, during and after a plane crash at sea.
The directors use of imagery, pause, sound and silence is fabulous if you tend to admire film for these little details. This one is full of lines and circles. I have rewatched this film over 10 times and I am still spotting new things.
To keep a film so interesting when 2/3rds is only one actor requires great craft. At no point in the film do we lose empathy for our character and there is always movement and growth. Most of all the film brings you into the main characters struggle.
By the end of the film you will be able to say, "yes, I would have needed a friend like Wilson" and "yes, I will always be happier here than on a deserted island". But what you will never say again to your loved ones is "Be Right Back".
