Chin and Vasarhelyi shape an overwhelming story into something more intimate and to-the-heart devastating.
Full reviewThe Academy Award-winning directors of Free Solo tell the intense story of the 2018 Thai cave rescue, one that saw a school boys soccer team and their coach trapped in a flooded cave system.
This astonishing against-the-odds film tells the story of the 2018 Thai cave rescue step by agonising step with airtight precision that leaves no room to breathe (in more ways than one).
Chin and Vasarhelyi shape an overwhelming story into something more intimate and to-the-heart devastating.
Full reviewAn accessible tale of disparate nations and individuals uniting behind a common, noble goal.
Full reviewLike all good documentaries, The Rescue finds the story beneath the surface of a story we thought we knew.
Full reviewAs with Chin and Vasarhelyi’s previous films, ignore any instinct you may have to pass up this movie because it sounds too hyper-specific: an activity you’re not really that interested in, and a story whose ending you’ve already heard.
Full reviewThe film-makers somehow manage to wring nerve-jangling tension from a foregone conclusion.
Full reviewIt unfolds with stunning precision, letting the people who were there tell the story, and never softening their unique personalities.
Full reviewA harrowing, captivating, wonderful documentary that perhaps surpasses "Free Solo," at least in terms of emotion.
Full reviewThe Rescue (2021) is available to stream in Australia now on Disney+.
