Great doc, very well produced and crazy story.
Good story of a man destined to make history
Basically a true life heist movie. Gripping.
An excellent documentary about the human spirit, however misguided that sometimes is.
A very interesting look into the life of one of the most famous tightrope walkers - and the crazy situations he found himself in
Quirky characters on an impossible journey. Almost seems too wild to be true. Very well told story of an incredible real life stunt.
“Phillippe Petit” debuts in one of the (one of his) most stunning, insane, and surprising events to shock the people of the NYC, Aug 1974!!
One of the best documentaries of the 00s. Like a heist movie with a poetic payoff. You can tell a lot of care went into making this.
Good documentary about the man who walked between the Twin Towers.
A documentary shot like a bank heist movie, a story of finding beauty in the world. Playful, engaging, very nicely constructed. Good film
