Touching the Void Reviews |

--Brian Orndorf (FilmJerk.com)
This film is an unforgettable experience, directed by Kevin Macdonald with a kind of brutal directness and simplicity that never tries to add suspense or drama but simply tells the story, as we look on in disbelief. [read review] 
--Roger Ebert (Chicago Sun-Times)
If there are still moviegoers that believe non-fiction pictures are dull, watching this is bound to convince them otherwise. “Touching the Void” can be as riveting and intense as any big-ass Hollywood action flick. [read review]
--Kevin N. Laforest (Montreal Film Journal)
"Touching the Void" is much more than a mountaineering film, it's a profoundly inspiring essay about the extraordinary power of the human will, the boundaries of friendship, and the price of survival. [read review] 
--Jonathan Foreman (New York Post)
Touching The Void is a gripping tale of ordinary men coping with extraordinary circumstances. [read review]
