I watched Free Solo yesterday. I liked the documentary overall, but I find Alex to be a bit odd at times.
For example, he says his family never said they loved him or hugged him. Later he says his mom was French so she said "Je T'aime" & he said his father was a teddy bear while it showed a picture of them hugging. I just found that whole bit to be weird.
I don't know if his girlfriend was a necessary part of the movie, but he seemed to act really callous to her. I almost laughed when she asked if he would consider her in not climbing or something, and he just went "no that's not a factor to me."
I loved the movie for the climbing aspects, even as someone who isn't into climbing at all. His feat was incredible, and when he said "Fuck yeah!" after the boulder problem, I felt so relieved, even knowing beforehand that he makes it.
What did you guys think of this movie?
