Touching the Void, to its credit, is about true events. Two mountain-climbers get into serious trouble while climbing a high peak: on the way down, one of them breaks his leg. The injury is almost a sure death sentence for him, and perhaps his climbing partner, but miraculously both survive. There is little real suspense, because the two climbers narrate the movie. While the events are harrowing, and the cinematography is remarkable, the story lacks narrative drive. Grade: B-
