Review of The Walk (2015) by Chris P — 09 Aug 2016
As visually graceful and deft as its protagonist, as dramatically wobbly as the French accent wielded by Gordon-Levitt, Zemeckis, a cinematic pop-poet if ever there was one, again shows his flawless technical grasp on digital cinema to create the genuine feeling of poetry.
The script stumbles towards that feeling, trying constantly to put it into distinctly American words (Petit and his team were mostly French), but its third act lets the camera and Zemeckis finally find his art, and find it he does, wondrously, vertiginously, and movingly ,in a fully formed piece of 3D film-making.
It's so good it helps wash down some of the corn it's been trying to serve up as cuisine before it.
