Torn

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 just happened upon this title in my Disney+ app and decided to give it a go. It's definitely worth watching, even if you don't know the family story or the details of the patriarch's untimely death. It's beautifully put together and comes across as incredibly genuine. Be ready to grab a box of tissue.

I low key am obsessed with mountaineering. I watch any and all documentaries about this lifestyle, more times than not ,sad things go down. Your story, about Alex's story, and your family's story is done so.... I can't even explain it! Loved how it was shot, loved how the raw footage was put in, bravo Max, really enjoyed this, you did your family proud. ✌🏼

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.

I remember Alex Lowe well from my subscription to Outside Magazine in the 90s. I used to go to Bozeman to see friends, and skied the slopes of Bridger Bowl several times. This film really brought home the person as well as the mythical scale his legend became. His family had to move through stages of grief more than once. I felt like this was a moving, heartfelt tribute, and a wonderful personal glimpse into this enduring family. Conrad is an honorable and good man for the things he has done and I can't help but think highly of him now, as he became legendary in his own right. In the end this was a film very moving and I was in tears for the last ten or fifteen minutes. Deeply personal, deeply touching, and deeply beautiful.
