The Walk

"The story The Walk tells is, admittedly, an unbelievable one, so it’s understandable Zemeckis should choose to leave subtlety at the door. Sadly such an approach strips the film of tension, especially at the crucial moment (...) Rating: ★★ (out of five)" 

"A poem of metal and concrete (...) [Zemeckis] has used all his brazenness and skill to make something that, once it leaves the ground, defies not only gravity, but time as well" 

"The 'Forrest Gump' helmer again proves his magician’s ability to blend character and technology (...) in addition to being a staggering spectacle, it is also an imminently relatable human story" 

"The 17-minute wire-walking sequence is the most majestic simulation of a real event since the ship sinking in Titanic" 

“The Walk” succeeds despite itself (...) When words and plot are dispensed with Zemeckis is free to soar narratively and emotionally" 

"As breathtakingly gorgeous and well acted as The Walk is, if you had to choose between the doc and this solid fictionalized version, I’d say go with the documentary (...) Rating: ★★★ (out of four)" 

"The Walk puts us up there 1,360 feet above the ground so we can almost feel the swirling air, the tautness of the wire and the rush of exhilaration (...) Rating: ★★★ (out of four)"
