2015 Tribeca Film Festival Review: Aloft A Film By Claudia Llosa
ALOFT is a journey through the power of the mind, a journey that forces us to confront the immensity of such concepts as love, order, chaos and faith. A mother who abandons her child for the common good; a son who abandons himself and his own ability to feel in order to bear the weight of tragedy; and a woman who abandons her life to follow her one obsession of curing herself. Three characters – complicated, human, flawed – reveal themselves to us, reflecting on the di...

Pursued by horsemen seeking summary justice and vengeful settlers, the two men decide to confront the unknown. Together they fight to gain their freedom.
Grounded by Mortensen’s fiercely understated ...
