Synopsis
Kyle and Mike are best friends who share a close bond - until Mike sleeps with Kyle's fiancée. The Climb is about a tumultuous but enduring relationship between two men across many years of laughter, heartbreak and rage. It is also the story of real-life best friends who turn their profound connection into a rich, humane and frequently uproarious film about the boundaries (or lack thereof) in all close friendships.

Closer to a 4.5 but sticking at 4 for now. Biking, one-shot sequences, jokes, what’s there not to love? Literally, very few things not to love about The Climb. Besides the fact that I wanted more. I guess not much else to say, excited to see what these dudes do next because…
KarstenNov 15, 20202nd film I've seen in theaters in the past 8 months. A funny, intimate, heartfelt indie. Gayle Rankin shines. Watched at AMC 14 Thousand Oaks
Sean BakerMar 5, 2020What I would give to be able to literally make a movie about nothing, then hit some major festivals before getting a theatrical release from a reputable distributor. This is the type of creation that can only be spawned from a deep pool of mediocrity. It has no idea what…

Mumbly to the core, in the best way. The cut to the arm in the cast might be the hardest I've laughed in a long time.

Vinny SimmsJun 28, 2026Maybe there’s still hope after all. (deutsche version unten) ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️½After Splitsville—one of the few genuine oases of joy in the increasingly dried-up desert that is modern film comedy—I simply had to check out Michael Angelo Covino's The Climb. And what can I say? The…

˗ˏˋ suspirliam ˊˎ˗Mar 5, 2021So even with its high rating and great reception, something always kept me back from watching this movie til the surprising review by the good ole Siegel peaked my interest – and it was pretty interesting. The movie tells the story of the on and off relationship between…
Rafael "Mister Movie" JovineJan 19, 2020I was interested in seeing this movie when I was at Cannes, but simply had no time. Yesterday, this film was screening for Spirit Awards voters. I was going to try to watch/stream this first and crash the Q&A, because I had another screening to go to (Parasite). When I…

The movie sometimes feels a little caught up in its own virtuosity. But the actors, Covino and Marvin — a sentient grenade and spineless but loving worm, respectively — keep it lively and make it meaningful. If the movie succeeds in surpassing the exercise it easily could have been, it’s because of them.

The scene that kicks off The Climb is by far the best thing in the entire movie, but don’t hold that against the picture — the rest of it is pretty great, too.

The film is shrewd on male friendship, suggesting that a lot of men are vulnerable and crave intimacy, but are often too poor at communicating to truly reach for it.
