Reviews

Village Voice -
Its considered use of ice and snow-covered vistas against the expanse of blue sky offers great beauty while capturing something of what pulls the adventurous to try to reach the world's second highest peak.

The Hollywood Reporter -
An account of one modern expedition that draws fruitfully upon the lore of another.
|
|
The New York Times -
Shedding light on the filmmaking process would have only enriched this well-wrought but limited extreme-sports portrait.
|
|
The Dissolve -
In this 75-minute straight shot of Discovery Channel cinema, no emotional crests are peaked, but viewers will come away informed.
