MARY CONWAY revels in a powerful reminder that human lives are not defined by physical perfection
Everest (12A)
Directed by Baltasar Kormakur
4/5
WRITERS William Nicholson and Simon Beaufoy’s gritty dramatisation of Jon Krakauer’s bestseller Into Thin Air tells the true story of two different expeditions trying to climb the world’s highest mountain in 1996, when freak conditions caused the death of eight mountaineers.
“I am very proud of this film,” director Baltasar Kormakur told us at the screening of his visually impressive film and he’s right to be.
