Two outlets have published reviews of Everest: The Other Side, a documentary about mountaineers Jim Morrison and Hilaree Nelson. According to The Guardian, the film is an immersive portrait of the pair as they seek to become the first people to ski down Everest's north face. In a review by Leslie Felperin, The Guardian wrote that the film comes with tricky moral questions about the climbers' lofty ambitions on the mountain's toughest face.
According to the same review, the film is National Geographic-backed and includes some showings in the large Imax format. The review says the film feels like a callback to the early, glory days of large-format cinema, when the emphasis was on spectacle and scale.
In a separate review, The New York Times reported that the directors of "Free Solo" track adventurers trying to ascend the hazardous north side of Mount Everest. The review was written by Manohla Dargis.
The two outlets describe the climbers' goal differently. The Guardian says the pair seeks to become the first people to ski down the north face, while The New York Times describes adventurers trying to ascend the north side. Neither summary states whether the climb was completed.
