This truly is a "Must See" documentary. The excitement in the film is not left solely on the "Man walking the Wire", but there was, at least for me, a real sense of excitement in watching the Towers rise from their foundations, up to their majestic stance on the New York City skyline. What a great way to pay tribute to what must be regarded as an awesome feat of architectural design, engineering and talented craftsmanship, that went into the creation of the Twin Towers.

must see documentary. I love the way the story is told and it feels like a heist movie.

A very inspiring documentary that everyone should see.

The film is not nearly as good as the actual story.

Petit makes you believe in his dream. Would you not follow him to the top of the world?

Everyone and their brother insisted that this is the best documentary in the world. Unconvinced! It was certainly moving and astonishing, but the reenactments were so kooky, like it was a Pink Panther episode. Here's my shadow, creepin' along!

However, Philippe is the most entertaining person ever, so I'm for it.

A beautiful documentary that meditates on a life lived with graceful abandon. It works so well because Petit and his friends inject their personalities into recounting the story. It will make you feel lazy, in a good way.

Loved it. A documentary built a bit like a heist movie. A great mixture of obsession, idealism, humour and sacrifice.
Not to mention the final events happen in a place that's now famous for some of the darkest things humans can do.

Update: Ακόμα ζαλίζομαι

It would have been very easy to exploit the natural vertigo that comes with this. Luckily it didn't go there, choosing instead to portray it as a great achievement.
