About
You’ll likely enjoy this if you want a tense, emotional true story about extreme ambition and the people left coping afterward; Not for you if you dislike fatal-outcome documentaries or reflective, grief-heavy viewing like Evelyn.
Pros: gripping real-life stakes; emotional family focus; tense mountain journey | Cons: familiar tragedy framing; heavy on hindsight; may feel judgmental
