Fall (2022)


I don't have a ton of sympathy for adrenaline seekers who willingly put themselves in danger, knowing what price they may pay. After a woman's husband dies in a mountaineering climb and she's hit rock bottom, her friend tries to revitalize her spirits by pointlessly climbing a terrifying 2000-foot television broadcast tower in the desert. As one can imagine, everything that can go wrong, does go wrong. I enjoyed it mostly because of how ruthless and relentless it is, but in the back of my mind, all I'm thinking is that they did this to themselves. It reminds me of other survival thriller scenarios where people are trapped in extreme situations, like Open Water, Frozen, and All is Lost.
