Richard B One of my favourite documentaries of all time. I've seen it 3 times and it still has me on the edge of my seat everytime. Incredible. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 07/11/24 Full Review Carter C Although I’m rating this a five stars because this is the best documentary I’ve ever seen and not the best movie period, it’s filled with suspense, perfect commentary, and the amazing talent that Alex holds which can definitely keep you on your toes the whole movie. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 05/31/24 Full Review Brian D 77%. Alex is a pretty strange dude. So is his gf. The history of Alex and then bringing in his gf isn't very exciting. The planning of the climb is pretty cool. Overall the first 3/4 of the film is pretty slow and then the actual ascent is riveting. 2/5 rewatch. Would really just skip to the end. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 04/15/24 Full Review K B Phenomenal movie - amazing scenery Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 04/04/24 Full Review Alec B Free Solo is a truly nerve-wracking documentary that follows world-renowned rock climber Alex Honnold as he attempts to conquer the seemingly impossible: scaling the 3,200-foot vertical face of El Capitan in Yosemite National Park without any ropes or safety gear. The film not only captures what can be considered the greatest physical feat of our time, but also the psychology of risk-taking and the sheer determination required to stay alive during a free solo of this magnitude. With breathtaking cinematography and a gripping narrative, "Free Solo" left my palms sweaty in the best way possible. Excited to continue following Honnold's ground breaking journies beyond this documentary. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 03/03/24 Full Review Michael G You can't get past the fact that this is a brilliant documentary. At the same time, I don't particularly appreciate seeing a narcissist like Alex Honnold glorified. It is both an incredible feat of athleticism and selfishness all at once. Alex cares little about those around him and the effect his death might have upon those who love him. The film is a fascinating simply because of the number of people drawn to such a selfish man and yet overlook every second of his self-centered behavior. Clearly for people like Alex only by putting their life at risk do they feel a sense of accomplishment. It should be noted that Alex had scaled El Capitan many times with a rope for safety reasons. It's the same solo climb but with a rope just in case something happens. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/25/24 Full Review Read all reviews
