Cem Okan Y @cmyldz23 Apr 29 Fascinating documentary about this fantastic personality which I heard about first with the Taipei challenge - a challenge that is not even that difficult after seeing this documentary See more Peter F @Pfit1990 Feb 4 Both awe-inspiring and a technical illustration. Insane watching him basically just walk up a 3,000 ft wall. Very heartwarming and funny doc as well with the underlying nervous tension of the threat of death. Alex is a unique and blunt character, I really hope he doesn't die. See more Gareth D @HiGarethDavies Feb 1 A documentary about having a relationship with an autistic partner. Fantastic. See more Jack L @RT22102532 Jan 31 Free Solo is one of the greatest documentaries I’ve ever seen and fully justifies both the hype and the Oscar it received. Alex Honnold is a fascinating subject, and the film does a brilliant job unpacking what drives someone capable of such extreme focus and risk. While the preparation is incredibly cool, the actual climb is surreal—you’re still nervous the entire time even though you know he survives, and the sheer magnitude of the achievement never diminishes. Combined with absolutely stunning camera work on the wall, this is an easy, emphatic recommendation.

The film captures not only his daring feats but also the immense mental and physical preparation behind them. Honnold’s discipline, training, and lifestyle are presented in a way that draws the audience into his world, making his achievements both thrilling and understandable. The cinematography is breathtaking, with sweeping cliff shots and vertigo-inducing perspectives that immerse viewers in the danger and beauty of his climbs. The director keeps the storytelling tight and engaging, balancing interviews, personal insights, and climbing sequences effectively. While the documentary is gripping and educational, it functions best as a one-time watch, offering an intense glimpse into human courage and dedication. Overall, Free Solo is a visually stunning, suspenseful, and inspiring exploration of extreme ambition and determination. See more Read all reviews
