"127 Hours," the film based on Coloradan Aron Ralston's fateful trip into Blue John Canyon 7 years ago, gets forcefully positive reviews in the Los Angeles Times and the New York Times.
Critics Betsey Sharkey and A.O. Scott like James Franco as Aron, director Danny Boyle's treatment, and the contrasting cinematography employed by Anthony Dod Mantle and Enrique Chediak.
James Franco was on Leno on Wednesday night, and the crowd loved him. It'd be nice to see that follow through to movie theaters because I'd love to hear the conversations to follow.
A.O. Scott says this:
In bringing this horrific, perversely inspirational story to the screen, Danny Boyle has stayed true to Mr. Ralston’s can-do spirit. His new film, “127 Hours,” is itself the frequently dazzling and perpetually surprising solution to an imposing set of formal and creative conundrums. The stakes are not life and death, but rather life and art.
I'm eager to see the film after seeing the trailer and reading the reviews.
