Torn

This is more a movie about love than one about alpinism (for that, you'd want to watch Meru, also features Conrad Anker). As far as a love story goes, this one is quite original. It is emotionally complex, yet delicate, so much so that no Hollywood scrptwriter has dared tackle this topic yet, at least not from this angle. This movie is a bit rough on the edges (for instance, it can try to delve deeper in Conrad's psyche) but nonetheless, quite enjoyable to watch.

Meet Alex Lowe, his climbing partners and his family. Get to know the real hero of the Alex Lowe story, Conrad Anker. He did everything Alex could do and couldn't do. Mad respect.

The title of this movie was so well chosen. "Torn" is every single person in this family from Alex himself (caught between his family and his passion) but also his wife, his three children and Conrad.

It was such a special documentary to watch with the footage and documentation from back then and today. Every step of the way was documented. Such a great tribute to Alex Lowe, his family and Conrad Anker.

Alex Lowe would surely be proud and what a beautiful legacy to leave one's father.

Coming from a patchwork family, I could also really relate to the inner conflict of the different people in the documentary.

Sobbed so much at the ending. This movie will stick with me for a while.

I was not ready for this. Have tissues at hand, you'll need them. Brilliantly directed and written and a truly inspiring.

Just beautiful. Well done you all, may this wonderful thing you did bring you more closure.

Mountain climbing isn't the real subject matter here. This is a truly touching, genuine story of friendship, love, tragedy, heartbreak, and recovery. Torn by loss, a new family is bonded together with tenderness, love and care. The fragility and trials of life. Of healing, resilience, and positivity. Tears are inevitable for this one!
