Review: The Alpinist (2021)

Movie: The Alpinist (2021). This is a film about a climber. And if you liked Free Solo you’re also going to also love this one. It technically isn’t as good a film and simply doesn’t have enough footage to tell the story. But it has just as many great moments and if you liked the scary hanging-off-the-side-of-a-mountain-one-handed shots of Free Solo then there’s even more to savour and get scared by here. Seriously, some of the climbing bits are insane. This is a top-notch documentary and very much worth your time. 4/5
