20 Most Critically Adored Films 2018 (According To Rotten Tomatoes)
17. Free Solo
Rating: 98%
In a strong year for National Geographic documentaries, Free Solo follows rock climber Alex Honnold as he attempts to perform a free solo climb of El Capitan in June 2017.
Despite the concerns of how to film rather than affect the climb, Elizabeth Chai Vasarhelyi and Jimmy Chin offer a captivating insight into one of the loneliest battles in human endeavour.
Sample Review:
"This plays out with as much (or more) suspense than any conventional thriller as the cameras capture every step of Alex's ascent." - ReelViews
