Rated 4.5/5 Stars • Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 11/04/24 Full Review lola m I just watched this for the third time. I can't get enough of this guy Rated 5/5 Stars • Rated 5 out of 5 stars 09/24/24 Full Review Lars N On second viewing you realize it's not as perfect as it seemed - there's an amazing girlfriend that never quit amount to more than that, and a weird shift in tone at the end - but nitpicking aside I don't think I will ever forget this film. Rated 4.5/5 Stars • Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 09/14/24 Full Review Nitsan F The climb was condensed into 12 minutes and during that 12 minutes barely any of the shots showed what he's actually doing. Most of it was stupid shots of the cameramen on the ground filming themselves filming him (oh my god SO many of those) and things like ultra close ups, ultra wide shots, shots angled to show the rocks where it's impossible to see what he's actually doing, etc. And all the shots where you CAN actually see what he's doing were VERY quick and then cut away to some dumb useless artsy angle again. They had drones to get close but used them terribly. Basically this hypes up a climb for an hour then barely shows the climb. No offense to the guy climbing who did a great job, but this documentary failed to actually show it. Though I'm sure this is great for people who want to watch nothing for 90 minutes.
