What the Critics say | ||
| Cape Argus / The Star John DeFore  Idyllic adventure goes awry in 'Adrift'. | 10 |  |
| 24.com Bronwyn McKay Adrift is, much like Wolfgang Petersen's The Perfect Storm (2000), a perfect disaster movie that will keep you on the edge of your seat and make you think twice about going sailing. But it is also an amazing, inspiring true story about a human being’s will to survive in the worst of circumstances. | 10 | |
| ScreenIt Jim Judy With solid performances from the leads and a believable romantic chemistry between their characters, one ends up caring about them and how things will play out. | 12 |  |
| Metacritic.com 30 critics | 11 | |
| Rottentomatoes critics 136 critics | 12 | |
| Rottentomatoes tomatometer Tomatometer Adrift sails smoothly between love story and survival drama, thanks in large part to a gripping central performance from Shailene Woodley. | 15 |  |
| Movie Review Query Engine MRQE critics   | 11 | |
| CommonSenseMedia Jeffrey M. Anderson Intense survival-romance story is cheerless and clichéd. | 5 |  |
