O tem filmu

A stunning, intimate and unflinching portrait of free solo climber Alex Honnold, as he prepares to achieve his lifelong dream:scaling the face of the world’s most famous rock — the 3,200-foot El Capitan in Yosemite National Park — without a rope. Renowned filmmakers E. Chai Vasarhelyi and Jimmy Chin capture the death-defying climb with exquisite artistry and masterful, vertigo-inducing camerawork.

Extremely disappointing and annoyed that this piece of work won an Oscar, totally unjustified. Alex Honnold ( the climber) self loathing and misery shows throughout the film and you end up having zero attachment for him to even succeed. Your time would be better spent watching RBG which is a true winner.

If you've seen other climbing docs like Meru or Dawn Wall, you get over the awe of seeing someone scale a 3000 foot wall very quickly. Without that sense of bewilderment to carry you through the last 20 minutes of the film, it leaves the ending hollow, because there's not much substance left. I was disappointed that the film didn't include more details about the actual climb. They did cover Alex motives quite well though so the middle was quite solid.

would have gave it 2.5 stars but not a option. You know he going to make the climb....whoops did I give the ending away. They try to spin this story as inspirational but a guy climbing the face of a mountain with no safety ropes by choice is just stupid not inspirational. Just a matter of time before some kid see this and tries to go climb something "Free Solo" falls and kills himself.
