the strength of the ensemble helps give the proceedings further dramatic resonance, with the performers providing subtle emotional depths that keep us firmly invested in the characters' plight
the film's central tension...becomes most pronounced during the final act, which is somehow both impressively suspenseful and frustratingly confusing. Still, "Stowaway" is never boring, even as it leaves you with a million unanswered space questions
Joe Penna maximizes a simple premise by spinning it into an intriguing story about the difficult decisions that need to be made when best laid plans go sideways
Joe Penna and his co-writer Ryan Morrison handle this existentially challenging material with grace, and Kendrick, Collette, Kim and Anderson deliver equally impactful, intense performances
aside from a slightly slack start, and its stirring but simplistic ending.. Penna's film such an engrossing and surprisingly touching addition to a genre already bursting with splashier, more extravagant and more overtly sentimental titles
a believably wrought drama about an oxygen emergency that ends up losing air in the finale; Nothing is being sacrificed for the sake of storytelling; just the realities of an agonising scenario, unfolding at a steady pace
