The Rescue - Comentarios

...a moving and sometimes terrifying documentary...

It’s impressive how “The Rescue” builds phenomenal tension...

...thanks to how much the event captured the interest of the world’s media, there is a lot of archive footage to splice in among the generous wodges of talking-heads narration from the main participants.

The stakes feel enormous as these hobbyists are suddenly shouldered with such responsibility – to pull off a group effort on the world’s stage.

...so intimately embed us with the ragtag team of cave divers who attempted the impossible that we feel worthy of a medal just for watching them do it.

Without emotional manipulation, Chin and Chai Vasarhelyi allow the story to tell itself, the events unfolding before viewers' eyes.

Det blir en driven och förvånansvärt varm skildring av den multinationella kamp mot klockan-aktionen...

...en fantastisk dokumentärfilm som mitt i all spänning och fasa ger hopp, tröst, lycka och tro på mänskligheten.

Det blir nervpirrande spännande, trots att man vet hur det gick.
