Guardian

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.

Rated: 3/5

Battle Royale With Cheese

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.

Eye for Film

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.

Rated: 3.5/5

Spectrum Culture

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.

Common Sense Media

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.

Rated: 2/5

It was overall an engaging mountain adventure film, quite nail-biting in parts. Only the romance scenes dragged a little.

Rated 4 out of 5 stars

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.

Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars

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.

A mountain covered in idiots. They should retitle this effort Carry On Up The Mountain.

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
