Movie Reviews of Touching the Void
Movie Review: Words escape me.
Summary: 5 Stars
Have you ever watched a film and afterwards somebody asks you, "Was it any good?" I had a co-worker ask me that very question after I saw this film in the theater. I just nodded. He laughed, "It's so good that words escape you?" I nodded again. This film is easily, without a doubt, with no competition whatsoever, the best film released this year. Bar none. The film itself is a true-life survival story, visceral and incredible, with fine acting from the two climber/actors that were cast for the two leads and some breathtaking cinematography. I actually pity anyone who did not see this film in the theater. However, those with huge television sets are in for an amazing experience. What makes this docu-drama stand head and shoulders over most documentaries and/or docu-dramas are the absolutely honest interviews with those involved in the incident. There were two climbers and another man left behind to watch their base-camp. All three men convey very truthful, often "brutally" truthful accounts of the event. When I first heard about this film and that both climbers survive I thought, "How intense could it really be knowing that?" I am not ruining anything by saying they survive because within the first few scenes of this film it is shown through interviews with the actual climbers. By no means does this diminish the film or the story in any way. I have this personal habit of writing down, throughout the year, all the 5-star films that I have seen in the theater. The film's title sits all alone at the top of the page. I seriously doubt I will see a better film this year. Perhaps one nearly its equal, but by no means, better. I highly recommend buying this fantastic film. Thank you.
