This is fine, I don’t think it needs to be held in much higher regard than _The Walk_. It benefits from everything being so cinematic and well documented, watching Phillipe do his thing never gets old. I enjoyed how it delves into the process, even if I wanted it to be more critical of the main character and all of the difficulties/challenges/potential consequences involved in pulling this off. The tone of the documentary leans towards the celebratory side and that doesn’t always bring out the most tension. There’s also a sense of theatricality to the storytelling (narration, reconstruction, music) that I don’t think serves the material. It’s still a fine watch, but once you get past the initial shock and awe there’s something empty about it.

6/10
