One of the two joys of being in Venice atm is being in Venice atm. The other one is Gravity, Alfonso Cuaron's sci-fi thriller that has opened the film festival to raves! ScreenDaily's Mark Adams describes the film as 'a real pleasure,' and in HitFix, it receives the first A grade that Guy Lodge has meted out this year! I've heard tell that Justin Chang's Variety write-up is chock-a-block with spoilers, so I haven't read it through, but it seems to be very positive. Todd McCarthy takes a similar tone (albeit less revealing) in The Hollywood Reporter. A bumper crop of reviews for Cuaron's highly buzzed first film in seven years also include strong reports from Xan Brooks in The Guardian, Matt Mueller for Thompson on Hollywood, Oliver Lyttleton at The Playlist and Robbie Collin in The Telegraph.
