If a documentary should take its audience to somewhere they should never otherwise go, then this documentary is a startling success. Real footage shot at one of the most extreme places on Earth, on the deadliest day the mountain has ever known.
The film's greatest weakness is a patch work of acted out fill-ins to help the story along, however, these are understandably necessary additions. Its extraordinary to have any footage at all from such a place.
It will be a long time before we see another mountaineering documentary as real and epic as this one. Well done.
