Review by @Reelreviewer
What a 'blast' the past couple of years have been for us all, politically, socially and economically.
As if we don't have enough to deal with as Brexit looms ever menacingly on our horizons.
But deal we do. Do we build walls or tear them down?
Or do we stick our collective heads in the sand, ostrich-style?
Here Alfonso Cuaron swaps the achingly empty exteriors of space in his Gravity (2013) for the dull interiors of a middle-class house in 1970's Mexico that is also imploding.
The results, depending on your viewpoint, are either stunning and innovative or dull and static.
