"To reach the top is part of the path when the true summit is in conquering yourself. This nearly hidden, understated movie was to my surprise based on a manga and done in such a way you'd believe it to be rotoscoped. "

"One of the best animated films I’ve seen a long time. Loved the art style, which matched the tone of the film perfectly. "

"Haunting. Loved the theme. Slowly builds to its intended message. Enjoyed the journey."

"9/10. Extremely dramatic and well produced manga film about high-altitude mountaineering. Moving and complete, the beautiful imagery and intense plot delivers a well rounded story arc that explains why climbers climb."

"I’m probably rather biased as the manga is one of my absolute favourites, but I did love this adaptation. While some narrative cuts were necessary, the movie feels fresh and conveys the characters’ drive and fascination for the mountains. I wish this had been a short series - which would have allowed for more in-depth characterisation - and the French voice-acting, while serviceable, does not match some of the better animes out there. Overall, a wonderful intro to the manga. Do give it a try!"
