The Last First is a revealing look at how they risked their lives for an ideal, maybe for an addiction. It’s a movie that shows us the dark side of literally getting high. That’s engrossing, to a point, but it’s not exhilarating. Go to Full Review Tatsam Mukherjee The Wire (INDIA) 12h

7.5/10
What I appreciate the most about The Last First: Winter K2 is that it's a brutally honest look at the current reality of mountain climbing and how pointlessly egotistical it has all become. Go to Full Review Robert Kojder Flickering Myth 2d
3.5/5

7/10
