The Rescue (2021)

"Chin and Vasarhelyi shape an overwhelming story into something more intimate and to-the-heart devastating."

"An accessible tale of disparate nations and individuals uniting behind a common, noble goal."

"Like all good documentaries, The Rescue finds the story beneath the surface of a story we thought we knew."

"Very slick, very thorough."

"The Rescue is not so much a film as it is a record."

"As with Chin and Vasarhelyi’s previous films, ignore any instinct you may have to pass up this movie because it sounds too hyper-specific: an activity you’re not really that interested in, and a story whose ending you’ve already heard."

"Gripping..."

"Easily one of the best documentaries of the year."

"The film-makers somehow manage to wring nerve-jangling tension from a foregone conclusion."

"This has all the drama and tension of a thriller..."

"It unfolds with stunning precision, letting the people who were there tell the story, and never softening their unique personalities."

"A harrowing, captivating, wonderful documentary that perhaps surpasses "Free Solo," at least in terms of emotion."
