Review of Free Solo (2018) by Zach F — 19 Oct 2018
"Free Solo" is a spectacular achievement in storytelling, cinematography, and filmmaking. It expertly captures the pinnacle of Alex Honnold's accomplishments: his free-solo ascent of El Capitan. The film is absolutely worthy of a big-screen viewing!
I most enjoyed the way the creators captured the emotions of everyone involved. The focus was naturally on Alex, but his girlfriend Sanni, his climbing partners, and the filmmakers themselves (including Jimmy Chin and his uber-talented team) were all thoughtfully presented.
My main criticism: Certain words were censored via dubbing, and that yanked me out of those scenes. This was an emotional event - let the language flow freely!
10/10. ??
