Adrift is a 2018 film starring Shailene Woodley and Sam Claflin.In 1983 a young couple named Tami and Richard set off on a voyage in a small sailboat to cross the Pacific. Unfortunately their course leads them into one of the most powerful Pacific hurricanes in history. Now with their boat barely holding together and Richard gravely injured, Tami must find a way to get them to a position when they can be seen or make a call for help.Not to be confused with the 2006's film of the same name. Or with the 2016's space-based exploration game Adr1ft.

comment
Helpful Hallucination: Tami's vision of Richard helps her keep her focus and drive long enough to reach help. It also gives her, at least from the audience's perspective, someone to talk to and act against.

Taught by Experience: Tami doesn't consider herself a sailor and definitely isn't certified, but she spent enough time along with other sailors to catch the gist of many complex operations and perform them on her own. She then sails with Richard for long enough to polish those skills.

Meaningful Echo: During one of the flashbacks, a land bird alights into the boat. It's the first inkling of trouble when they realize how severe the wind must be to have carried it so far out to sea. Towards the end, it happens again, only this time, the wind is calm and Tami realizes that land is in sight and that her ordeal is over.

Watching the Sunset: At the start of their voyage, Richard and Tami are watching a brilliant red sunset. At least, Tami says it's red; Richard launches into a Purple Prose listing of all the various shades of red it could be. Mirrored later while they're drifting, since they don't have much to do anyway.

Foreshadowing
 Adrift (2018) / int_9d12bbc1
comment
Foreshadowing: When describing life at sea, Richard says after a few days is when the hallucinations start. The very first thing we see is Richard's body sinking into the depths. The injured Richard describes himself as "dead weight", implying that he wants Tami to perform a Mercy Kill so as to save herself. It turns out he's already dead and this is actually his ghost, or perhaps Tami's subconscious urging her to let go for the very same reason. As the storm intensifies, Tami is nearly swept overboard at one point, only to be saved by Richard, minutes before he meets the same fate. Tami's final flashback of the storm shows the moment the boat flipped over and Richard was not only swept overboard, but struck on the head. When we return to present day, she finally admits to herself that she's been hallucinating his presence the entire time.

Tap on the Head

comment
Tap on the Head: Tami is struck on the head as the boat capsizes and knocked unconscious (in Real Life it was for 27 hours). When she regains consciousness, she has a nasty cut on her forehead and the revelation that she's been hallucinating Richard's presence ever since, might very well be due to whatever brain damage she received. Richard himself is struck on the head the same way and either killed outright or knocked out long enough for him to drown once he slips underwater.

Big "NO!": Tami upon realising Richard is nowhere on the boat and she was knocked out cold for God knows how long. (It was 27 hours in Real Life).

Hope Spot: About midway through, Tami sees a large freighter bearing down on them. Despite her attempts to get its attention, it sails on by with barely a ripple...then vanishes. It was never there.

Spoiler Opening: The very first thing shown on screen is Richard's lifeless body going down underwater, fast. Anyone paying even minimal attention will instantly realise what's up.

You Said You Couldn't Dance: Rich quickly calls Tami out on her confession she's no sailor when performing admirably on her own. She instantly points out she just had a lot of time watching actual sailors doing their job, but never was trained in any of this.

Determinator: You don't go any more determined than sailing back to civilization on a derelict yacht with almost no supplies for 41 days. And doing it completely alone.

Artistic License – Ships
 Adrift (2018) / int_e652089c
comment
Artistic License – Ships: Most likely used as a Rule of Drama, considering how many other things are done right. You trim, change or outright drop sails before entering the storm, not during it. The film shows what happens when you have too many of too big sails during a hurricane and how absurdly hard and dangerous it becomes to try to drop them in such conditions.

Match Cut: The opening shot of Richard's raincoat-clad body sinking into the depths of the ocean immediately segues into a shot of Tammy's similarly dressed, partly submerged body as the camera pans up to find her regaining consciousness.

Mercy Kill
 Adrift (2018) / int_f3626b09
comment
The injured Richard describes himself as "dead weight", implying that he wants Tami to perform a Mercy Kill so as to save herself. It turns out he's already dead and this is actually his ghost, or perhaps Tami's subconscious urging her to let go for the very same reason.

Talking to Themself: Both Richard and Tami are shown doing this quite a lot during flashbacks. This is also what she was doing for the entire time after the storm, since Richard wasn't really there.

Beauty Is Never Tarnished: Averted. As the days go on, Tami looks precisely as someone in such a situation would—progressively raw skin, weight loss, a nasty head injury. Richard's wounds also get nastier, though it turns out he isn't really there anyway.

Flowers of Romance: Richard gives Tami a flower to put in her hair, telling her which side she puts it on is important; right means she's on the market, but left means she's taken. She puts it on the left side.
