I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.

Boring, over-political, tech fuzed mess

Very interesting film. Was caught on the premise when seeing the trailer but unsure as to what the outcome would be for the showing. As it turns out, it was a very good film.

The film creates a perfect balance between action and depth of basic needs, in the midst of an infertile atmosphere.

This movie is if not the best, one of the best that I've ever seen. And I've seen thousands of films in 57 years of life. Some better than others, many only kilometers of film, not to say bad movies. What's more important, a new proof that nothing is accidental, I've seen TOUCHING THE VOID exactly when I needed most to see such a film: in a very difficult period of my own existence here on Earth... This film gives you strength to live, to not let yourself beaten, especially when you're on the brink of death, when you go through the hardships of life and even you try everything, everything is hostile to you. It's not only the best film in the mountain climbing genre, but also one of the best of all possible genres. 10 out of 10.

Touch The Void was one of my earliest memories of watching a good documentary. It was also the first documentary I had seen on climbers climbing Everest. After watching it recently, it had a profound impact, being scary, daunting and beyond horrifying. The one thing I really love about this film is how more then one side of the story is told. It doesn't feel bias, and it doesn't feel cheesy and clichéd like more modern documentaries. Touching The Void is probably the best and most effective documentary ever made. Not only are the events recreated, the pacing is perfect; many documentaries fail at creating an evenly paced film without giving you too much too soon. Fantastic, that's all I can say about it.

As someone who is into high altitude hiking i can definitely relate to the dangers and loneliness of the mountains.Stories like this prove once again that real life is the greatest drama. This is exactly why movies do not always need to be entirely scripted for it to have an interesting story.This movie is not just about mountaineering, it gives us a better look at the human mind. Most of us have been there, a crossroad where we must decide to either keep going forward, or wait it out until everything goes completely dark.This is not just about climbing mountains, it is about life and the importance of going forward, however dire the situation becomes.In a way, climbing is the struggle of life. For me, that is why i enjoy the mountains. It makes me understand life better. I highly recommend this movie, even if you just want to see human drama. One of the best i have seen so far.
