Where has this documentary been all my life?

Really liked the reenactments and the way the interviews worked as an accompaniment to the visuals was nice. A cool contrast, actually, with the reenactments being very complex at times and the interviews being extremely minimalist. Makes me want to check out more of Kevin MacDonald's stuff. He's looking to be a really solid director.

Just excellent. An unbelievable story, told through stunning re-enactments. Not usually a fan of 'faking' documentary footage, but they never felt staged or forced, and gave such a sense of the ordeal the two climbers went through.

An incredibly tense documentary consisting of spectacular recreations narrated by the primary subjects. Despite knowing that the narrators obviously survive, Touching the Void manages to impart a unique terror and suspense.

A talking heads dramatization that succumbs to the formula without ever breaking out of it. Nevertheless an inspiring watch.

I accepted the reenactment much faster on this one, it felt clearly needed as the event itself only involved three people and was relatively short. The photography is beautiful and the reenactment is very well made, the story is fascinating, it's one of those triumph of the human spirit sort of things and it works great, it's curious that even though they reveal the ending from the very beginning I still found myself very engaged with what they were going through.

Excellent reconstruction documentary. Stunning visuals.

A heart-stopping and harrowing documentary that re-creates an attempt by two climbers to summit the previously unclimbed Siula Grande. Things do not go as planned and we get to hear the story from the horse's mouth. This is as thrilling a movie as "Into Thin Air" (about a doomed Everest climb) is a book.

Scared the hell out of me more than most horrors because this is something I actually want to try sometime...

Recommended after last week's "Game of Thrones". Visually stunning documentary about what can go wrong while mountain climbing. The recreation of the events that unfolded is very carefully crafted. Even though I would've liked to know a bit more about the people themselves, still a great watch.

An incredible story about an incredible journey taken up by two incredible men. This documentary is a manifestation of our darkest desire, to look Death in the eye and say "Fuck You". It is just a co-incidence that this documentary is about a feat that only these two men have achieved in the history of mankind, even otherwise it would be a gem that shows you not only the insignificance of human existence in front of nature but also the extreme survival orientation and endurance the human mind can exhibit.

Možda ne toliko napeto koliko sam očekivao, ali svakako izaziva neko strahopoštovanje. To se podjednako odnosi i na prizore veličanstvenih snijegom prekrivenih Anda, suludi pothvat koji zahtjeva gigantska muda, nesreću koja je uslijedila te grozničavu želju za životom koja se iz iste izrodila.

Dokumentarni stil koji isprepliće intervjue likova koji su to sranje preživjeli s uprizorenjem je efektivan, ali mislim da bi dramatizirana (nešto kao 127 sati) verzija bila pun kurac bolja.
