The Globe and Mail (Toronto) - Unnamed
Whether you care about climbing or not, you’ll appreciate this tale of passion, discipline and, ultimately, transcendence. One incredible climb for one athlete, one quantum leap for mankind.

L.A. Weekly - Alan Scherstuhl
To watch Honnold think through each ledge of his climbs can stop the heart; to watch him navigate human emotion might melt it.

Vanity Fair - Richard Lawson
Beyond that interesting character profile, Free Solo also operates as a sort of meta criticism of this kind of documentary filmmaking. We see Chin and his crew, most of them friends or at least affectionate admirers of Honnold’s, grapple with the difficult realities—and the potential trauma—of what they’re doing.

Film Journal International - Gary M. Kramer
An awesome and inspiring doc from the team behind Meru.

IndieWire - David Ehrlich
There’s no denying that the domestic scenes of Free Solo are more powerful because you appreciate the madness of what Honnold is trying to do, and the climbing scenes are more powerful because you appreciate the full extent of what he’s risking to do it.
