Wendy Ide Observer (UK) In its gentle, slightly meandering way, The Wall of Shadows asks important questions – about western entitlement, and whether scaling a mountain is the same as respecting it. Rated: 3/5 Apr 25, 2022 Full Review Cath Clarke Guardian This is a balanced film that doesn’t pick sides. Rated: 3/5 Apr 18, 2022 Full Review Edward Porter Sunday Times (UK) As the journey proceeds, the discussions between the guides and the tourists provide subtle human drama to complement the powerful scenery. Rated: 4/5 Apr 25, 2022 Full Review Markie Robson-Scott The Arts Desk This beautiful, meditative film by director and climber Eliza Kubarska captures the power of the Himalayas with great intensity.
