Top Critics Reviews

fresh:
The facts drop away, and it becomes impossible not to read the movie symbolically -- as a journey to the center of the earth, or farther still.
– Anthony Lane,
New Yorker,

fresh:
Most movies of this type re-create the action far from the actual scene of the crime, but Macdonald has invented a new subgenre: a docudrama in which the docu and the drama are equally authentic.
– Peter Rainer,
New York Magazine/Vulture,
7 Aug 2004
fresh:
As a meditation on extreme human endeavour, character, friendship and the mysteries revealed by facing death, it provides much food for thought.
