Owen Gleiberman Variety 5d
The Last First is a revealing look at how they risked their lives for an ideal, maybe for an addiction. It’s a movie that shows us the dark side of literally getting high. That’s engrossing, to a point, but it’s not exhilarating. Go to Full Review Robert Kojder Flickering Myth 10h
3.5/5
This is another spectacular accomplishment in this subgenre visually, but this time, there isn’t much of a happy ending. It isn’t trying to give viewers a similar high, but also a reality check Go to Full Review Kaveh Jalinous Under the Radar 4d
7/10
Incredible shots in a mountaineering documentary are far from uncommon, but they’re certainly a plus in a film that’s hoping to showcase just how hard summiting K2 in any season is, let alone winter. Go to Full Review Gregory Nussen Screen Rant 4d
8/10
An unusual documentary in that its surface-level subject matter acts as a metaphor for a score of contemporary social ills, The Last First is a surprising doc of uncompromising tension. Go to Full Review Taylor Gates Collider 4d
8/10
