There’s a hyper-stylized and even scripted nature to “Skywalkers” that makes it all feel a bit too much like a commercial. An ad for something insane.

“Skywalkers” is so engrossing, it makes the movie cliché about “edge of your seat” viewing seem like an understatement.

Rated: 4/4

By the time it’s all over, audiences will only be left with trite lessons about how couples need to balance each other out and support one another. For a movie about two people who do such an unusual thing, it’s an awfully basic note to end on.

Rated: C+

Don’t watch this one if you have a fear of heights! Fortunately it is also a compelling love story as the title suggests.

Rated: 7/10

Sywalkers: A Love Story is a tense and adrenaline-inducing documentary that leads us to admire the fascinating beauty of imposing heights and fear breathtaking abysses. [Full review in Spanish]

I'm mixed on this documentary. So much of the movie’s dramatic narrative feels too stagy and inauthentic to make much of an impact, but the footage of death-defying stunts is as compelling as it is crazy.
