The sides of Gravity
- An astronaut adrift above Earth
- Debris coming around every orbit
- Getting home alone
Gravity is good for you if…
- you want ninety minutes of holding your breath.
- you want space at its most beautiful and frightening.
- you like one person fighting to stay alive.
Gravity is bad for you if…
- you need a story with conversations. She's mostly alone.
- you want a plot to work out. It's one straight line from orbit to the ground.
