Kattiera Nana 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.

Alicia I love this movie so much

Taraparain Tells a fascinating and unsettling true story, and does so well, without pretending to have all the answers.

Tymon Sutton The acting is good, and the firecracker script has some excellent ideas.

rodrig58 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.

Brian Berta This movie keeps you on the edge of your seat the entire time. It's very tense even though the outcome is already known.This movie details the true story of a mountaineering expedition gone horribly wrong. It shows the 2 climbers struggling to make it back down as more and more things go wrong.Even though we already know the ending, the movie is still quite the thrill ride. It keeps us on the edge of our seats the entire time. It is very gripping and the movie draws the viewer into the action immensely.The great acting, facial expressions, sound and music, editing, and set design only makes the tension bigger and it immerses the viewer even more.This is a movie that you have to experience. It's hard to watch at times due to the graphic nature of some of its scenes but it's truly an amazing film which keeps the viewer engaged from beginning to end. It's a must watch for all fans of the genre.

neil-upto11 'Touching the Void' is the most extraordinary story of survival I have ever encountered. It is brought to life through the fantastically creative talents of the film maker and the honest, moving accounts of the protagonists.The story is so incredible that it is actually difficult to imagine how survival was possible - even though we are being told the story by those involved! The film is technically brilliant and does not succumb to overly dramatic devices - not least because it doesn't need them: if you are not absolutely transfixed by the simple facts then no amount of special effects and invasive music would move you.I thoroughly recommend this film / story as the very definition of determination in the face of impossible odds.

dumsumdumfai Now this is a cliffhanger Stallone!The movie opens slowly, and wisely builds the tension and explain the background for the uninitiated. The rope, the bond, the trust...etc. And as the story moves along you are not sure what exciting/horrify things will happen (unless you read previews - and thus the tragedy of review : it tells you too much but needs to hold your attention) but you do get an uneasy feeling. Then wam/bam, the decisive critical moment jumps on your just like a hurt animal. And it gets worse. That is a great thing about this kind of recollecting documentary, with particularly(A MUST) the first person's perspective. There is so much detail and emotions. And it helps with the 3rd guy breaking up the tension. The only bit that was a bit weird for me is the repeating music in the head near the end. Spoilers** Not sure if this was intentional, but I particularly like the way it started with closeups on Joe's face up until the decision making point - and the explain the broken leg. So I wasn't sure whether the injury was much more serious (i.e. removed or spinal..etc).
