An intimate portrait of two people bound by love, ambition, and the pursuit of the impossible. Elite ski mountaineers Jim Morrison and Hilaree Nelson fell deeply in love while reaching the pinnacle of their sport: Everest's north face. (PG-13, 110 min.)
(TBD)
Elite ski mountaineers Jim Morrison and Hilaree Nelson fell deeply in love while reaching the pinnacle of their sport. Their drive sharpened into a shared dream: to climb and ski the direct North Face of Everest — the most difficult and dangerous climb on the mountain and the most coveted ski line on Earth. Thousands have summited the mountain via Nepal's southeast ridge, but only a handful have ever reached the top by this route, and no one has successfully skied down.
Already known for their extraordinary feats in the mountains and no strangers to loss, Morrison and Nelson stake everything on this daunting challenge. From National Geographic Documentary Films and Elizabeth Chai Vasarhelyi and Jimmy Chin — the Oscar®-winning filmmakers behind Free Solo and Meru — Everest: The Other Side is an intimate portrait of two people bound by love, ambition and the pursuit of the impossible.

Genre: Documentary, Sport
"It is incredible. It should not exist, but it does. It is something to see — something wondrous and unsettling."
— Andy Howell, Film Threat
"What seems, at first, like a thrilling but familiar daredevil documentary soon reveals a harrowing work of self-reflexive cinema that’s as tragic as it is triumphant."
— Siddhant Adlakha, TheWrap
"The film’s climbing scenes are breathtakingly tense, but what sells the movie as more than mere docu-thriller is its sharp assessment of Honnold’s psychological makeup."
— Richard Lawson, The Hollywood Reporter
"It’s impressively assembled, from its elegant and clarifying drone footage to its first-person GoPro shots of crampons jabbing into icy rock walls and pickaxes crunching into hard snow."
— Matt Zoller Seitz, RogerEbert.com
"Everest: The Other Side offers an arresting illustration of what Elizabeth Chai Vasarhelyi and Jimmy Chin do best, pairing the nail-biting tension of a sports drama with the epic sweep of a nature documentary."
— Marshall Shaffer, Slant Magazine
"Beyond all the extraordinary photography of Himalayan mountain ranges, icy crevasses and plunging couloirs, Everest: The Other Side is a film about how we choose to live our lives and what it means for those we love."
— Philip De Semlyen, Time Out
