- Rating: 4.5 out of 5 starsYou will never forget Leclerc after watching this, what a spirit, the drive, the obsession, the warmth of his smile. A fascinating, beautiful, stressful watch.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 starsSigned in to IMDB just to rate this movie. Thank you for making it. In a world where we are increasingly detached from what truly makes us human - running rat races and preoccupied with meaningless frivolities; here is a beautiful and inspiring story about a pure soul living life to the fullest. This film captures the essence of what it takes to be truly exceptional. In life Marc-Andre was humble and yet this film leaves an indelible impression on its audience that he was truly special. Wonderful storytelling.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 starsAn exploration of the far edges of the nature of humanity. Impossible to believe its true, save that Marc's achievements are gloriously documented in this astonishing film.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 starsThis is a great documentary about a mountain climber and his exploits. The scenery is beautiful and spectacular and the exploration of the personality of Marc-André Leclerc, while it doesn't get to the bottom of what drives him, is fascinating and rich.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 starsAs I sit here, writing and deleting increasingly poetic passages, trying to encapsulate how this movie made me feel, I'm realizing that the feeling was indescribable. A complex mix of inspiration, fear, and a deep apriciation for life and what it means to live it. Jimmy told a beautiful story about a truly beautiful one of a kind person who lived his life in a way that truly made him happy. That is so rare in our modern world. Is a life cut short because it was spent pursuing one's true passion worse than a long life where one never truly finds happiness? Before you judge Marc for being reckless ask yourself, are you happier than him? I sincerely doubt it.
- Rating: 4.5 out of 5 starsThis was an amazing film. Very sad and inspiring at the same time. I was legitimately terrified throughout seeing the alpine climbs. Have we not seen the best alpinist of all time. Absolutely fearless and kind soul. I loved watching this.
- Rating: 3 out of 5 starsI was thinking of giving this a 2 stars as I was watching it because it's just a sorta lackluster documentary about free climbing. but then I got to the last 15 minutes and I felt compelled to at least give this a positive review. that being said it still isn't the best documentary I've seen.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 starsIt is not about being inspired by Marc, but appreciate the way to life that make we go far and beyond. I can never be even close to what he does but I know there is a life path for me. The movie just conveys that message so well . Thank you for the movie and thank you Marc
