Critic Reviews

Duane Byrge

Despite some minor Hollywood flourishes, this Buena Vista release is a superb and unflinching glimpse into the reserves of the human spirit. [13 Jan 1993]

Ted Mahar

What Alive does show is engrossing, a virtually unique experience re-created thrillingly and surely as faithfully as we can stand. [15 Jan 1993, p.13]

Peter Travers

Alive draws considerable power from staying more human than heroic. Read full review

Ty Burr

As engrossing as it is, the movie still tells only half the story: the other, nobler half. Read full review

David Ansen

Marshall is a good technician, but there's no sense of artistic adventure in his sometimes exciting, sometimes draggy movie. Read full review

Staff (Not Credited)

Skilfully crafted and doggedly performed, the film pushes too hard and too far; it strives for the inspirational but falls well short of inspired. Read full review

Rick Groen

Even though Frank Marshall's latest film Alive is based on a true story of survival, it lacks the very qualities it means to celebrate - spark, imagination and spirit. [16 Jan 1993]
