Phil Hoad Guardian 10/11/2022
3/5
The climbing sequences are genuinely exhilarating: in monumental drone shots homing in on minuscule figures on rock faces and in blow-by-blow crag-side set pieces that demonstrate the film-makers know whereof they speak. Go to Full Review

Summit Fever doesn’t live up to the excitement of its name and without somebody like Phillippe to hold the audience’s attention, they may not make it to the peak either. Go to Full Review
Jennie Kermode Eye for Film 10/20/2022
3.5/5
Subtitles identify the routes which the climbers take on each occasion, and great attention is paid to accuracy, so climbers in the audience will have a lot to engage with. Go to Full Review

6/10
The storyline and the photography made this film more enjoyable than I expected. Go to Full Review
Miyako Pleines Spectrum Culture 10/20/2022
A tonally challenged mountaineer film about two best friends who love the thrill of the climb, but ultimately end up taking on a lot more mountain than their ice picks can handle. Go to Full Review
Alistair Lawrence Common Sense Media 10/19/2022
2/5
Summit Fever's writer-director Julian Gilbey does a capable job of ramping up the drama for several set pieces, despite some of them clearly being shot on a modest budget. Go to Full Review

Leonora P Jun 2 It was overall an engaging mountain adventure film, quite nail-biting in parts. Only the romance scenes dragged a little. See more Andy F 12/15/2024 A different type of mountain movie. It's everything wrong and right with today's world - utter selfishness, craving fame and yet with raw humanity underneath it. See more Mitch C 08/15/2024 The incredible cinematography saves the film. But the acting is mediocre at best and the plot is so plodding you won't even blink when the first climber (predictably) falls. I'd rather watch the old movie Cliff Hangar again. Much better. See more KANGABOY Streetwear 03/23/2024 A mountain covered in idiots. They should retitle this effort Carry On Up The Mountain. See more Le Fifre 12/28/2023 such bad acting becomes funny See more Jessica 11/19/2023 Filme chato, o roteiro é fraco, os personagens não cativaram. O filme não prendeu nem um pouco. Estou surpresa que está com 90% de aprovação da audiência, porque realmente deixou muito a desejar See more Read all reviews
