Fifteen years of verite footage show the epic rivalry between half-pipe legends Shaun White and Kevin Pearce.
Assembled from a plethora of visual sources, including the title footage, this impressively edited and dynamically scored film successfully combines visceral bursts of action with intimately observed sequences, culminating in a poignant Thanksgiving dinner intervention undertaken by Pearce’s relatives.
A horrifically engaging documentary.
Lucy Walker's documentary is exhilarating and grim viewing.
A beautiful sports romance mining sickness, health, love and danger.
Inspiring.
