Free Solo. Really effing good.
Seriously. This film was fantastic. I want to see Chin’s Meru now which sounds just as good, if not better. The last 20-30 minutes were so damn tense, and Alex seems as if he was absolutely groomed for this. Not in the rock climbing sense though his parents did have climb a lot when he was a kid. But in the his parents never said I love you and never hugged and he therefore never asked anyone to belay him as he grew older and did much Free Solo on his own as a result. Dude is completely void of emotions and thinks very calmly, almost like some sort of automaton. Some of those shots were absolutely nuts and Alex after that toughest part (forget what it was called) was just sitting there excitedly smiling at the drone’s camera. Unreal. Mad props. And dude’s gf is cute as hell.
