The Rescue (2021) | Reviews
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).

It unfolds with stunning precision, letting the people who were there tell the story, and never softening their unique personalities.

A harrowing, captivating, wonderful documentary that perhaps surpasses "Free Solo," at least in terms of emotion.
