Movie Reviews
“For the 4,000-plus people who have climbed Mt. Everest, it’s likely that no film will ever come close to capturing the reality of that once-impossible experience” Michael Nordine: Variety
- “Magnificent in its landscape artistry but intimate in its storytelling, ‘The Summit of the Gods’ avoids the brash nature of commercial animated features (…) Rating: ???? (out of 5)” Tara McNamara: Common Sense Media
“[It] is a subtle movie, told in shades of white and degrees of silence, but its passion burns hot beneath the icy rime” Jacob Oller: Paste Magazine
