Atom User Reviews for The Dawn Wall (2018)
Best movie i have seen since Meru!!
Awe inspiring!
Loved the movie from start to finish. It was great how they wove in the back stories. Sitting in the meadow watching the climbers on El Cap has always been one of my favorite things to do in Yosemite. After seeing this movie it will make it even more special to do.
You don’t have to be a rock climbing fan to enjoy this amazing true story of conquering your dreams! Fantastic film, very engaging!
Film was not compatible with projection equipment in Hooksett, NH. Film was well made, but I drove over an hour to this theater to see a crappy quality projection. Big screen would have been nice, but I have better screen resolution on my iPad. Test your equipment before you sell tickets!
Love it amazing movie !
Fantastic movie
Great film. Now I want to reach the book Push too!
Beautifully inspiring! How it highlights not only the most ambitious of climbs and overcoming adversity, but also life and relationships really makes this hit on many levels. Very well done and an incredible story!
The movie was terrible quality was glitches and had green stripes along the whole movie. The whole movie. Hooksette imax honestly drove 1.5 hours to watch a horrible quality movie.
A great real-life story of camaraderie and perseverance. Truly inspiring and humbling.
It feels like you're right there with Tommy and Kevin through their endeavors.
so epic
Such an amazing story highlighting some of the best athletes on earth!
Best climbing film I have seen. Very inspirational and great humor throughout. Amazing to see the filming set up at the end.
Beautifully done and an epic story. If you aren’t inspired I’m not sure you ever will be!
Great film
Incredibly well done movie of outstanding story of struggle, commitment, perseverance and teamwork!
An amazing and inspiring in depth look at the hard and dedication it requires to achieve the impossible.
Great movie. You know how it ends, but now you get to see how it happened along with the struggle and emotion.
That’s a real man, and a great friendship.
Don't miss the credits!
You need a bag of chalk to watch this masterpiece.
I knew what happened beforehand and it still took me on an emotional journey with Tommy and Kevin.
Great photography!
Great movie! Inspiring. Shows that hard work pays off!
Tommy at his best, inspiring, gipping, motivational, true, must see movie for any climber!
Great for climbers and non climbers a like.
Awe inspiring. A true story of man overcoming the impossible.
Saw this four days after Free Solo, and didn't know if it would measure up, but it did in its own ways!
Great show!
Well made, with great human interest
Amazing movie that gave me all the feels
If this doesn't inspire you to try hard, you're probably dead.
Tommy is the man
Can't wait for the DVD!
Awe inspiring film. We all left dreaming of becoming the next Tommy Caldwell or KJ. You’re the best of us, fellas!
thoroughly enjoyed this movie
Wish I could see it again right away. Inspiring and often funny

Loved the movie. Very well done from start to finish. Tommy and Kevin are inspirational and endearing; their humility, dedication and perseverance are a great example for everyone. Beautiful camera work. The only thing I missed was seeing more of the actual climbing across the whole route; the climbing segments seemed to focus mostly on the "Pitch 15" epic. That said, I'd recommend this move to everyone, eve non-climbers.
Great story of Tommy!
Awesome
Awesome and inspiring movie
So good!!!
Where can I buy a copy??!!
Unbelievable crimps. Smoothest of the smooth, dancing up The Dawn Wall. Why haven't you seen it yet?
A must see!
Absolutely uplifting and awe inspiring! Lessons to apply to all walks of life! I gasped, laughed, cried and loved every single part. Thank you for sharing your journey and stories with us! I hope this movie will be released more broadly for others to enjoy.
This was amazing. Everyone in the film including the camera crew were so committed to making this story, the goals and the way it was told, the absolute best. I did not expect to enjoy this as much as I did as I went with my husband who is more interested in this genre of sport than I am. This needs to get out in theaters more than 1 day!
Metacritic
Filmmakers Lowell and Mortimer were there to document every excruciating inch, with stunning Yosemite scenery as their backdrop for almost every striking frame. The film they got out of it is, like the experience they were documenting, one of a kind.
The Dawn Wall transcends initial conventional sports documentary trappings, emerging as an affecting portrait of conquering personal limitations.
It's the camerawork by director of photography Brett Lowell and cinematographer Corey Rich (along with many other contributors) that impresses the most here. Close-ups show just how precise and physically challenging the climbers' moves are.
