THE LAST MOUNTAIN follows Kate Ballard on an emotional journey to say goodbye to her brother on Nanga Parbat. Using archive footage from 1995 and Tom's own extraordinary footage taken up until the days before his death, the film explores what made Tom continue his ascent with Italian climber Daniele Nardi after the other two members of the expedition turned back. Combining years of intimate, unseen family archive with footage of the family that director, Chris Terrill, has shot in the years since Alison's passing, the documentary tells the unforgettable story of a family who lived -- and were prepared to die -- for the love of scaling the icy heights of the world's highest peaks, and explore what it is that drives people to pit themselves against nature at its most ferocious and unforgiving.

Stephen Romei The Australian The visually spectacular, emotionally stirring British documentary The Last Mountain is the sequel no one wanted to make. Rated: 4/5 Mar 30, 2022 Full Review Ben Kenigsberg New York Times If Terrill never finds a clear narrative or emotional through line for this account, it’s not entirely a surprise. Mar 15, 2022 Full Review Charles Solomon FilmWeek (KPCC - NPR Los Angeles) I didn't find it that distinguished and I'm afraid the dynasty just didn't win me over. Mar 30, 2022 Full Review Wade Major FilmWeek (KPCC - NPR Los Angeles) I was completely floored by this. Mar 30, 2022 Full Review Danny Brogan Common Sense Media Despite its subject matter -- the death of two climbers, a mother and son, 24 years apart -- this British documentary is a celebration of life and human accomplishments. Rated: 3/5 Mar 21, 2022 Full Review Joel Fisher Battle Royale With Cheese This does make The Last Mountain an intimate and proud telling of his story though and something that may have made Tom proud to leave behind as his legacy.
