disagree... documentaries are not about the story, but the people involved. It is very hard to make a good documentary that lasts only 45 minutes.

An inspiring and amazing documentary about an inspiring and amazing man. My only disappointment with the film is that the only footage of the moment everyone waited for were a handful of still images. It can't be helped, but the film is still amazing.

An enlightening and richly entertaining documentary about the importance of free expression, the rebellion against social norms and the very human desire to take extraordinary risks.

Incredible and inspiring. The moment when it cuts to the still photo of people in the street looking up at the Twin Towers and seeing not death or horror or destruction, but the beautiful sight of an eccentric man fulfilling his dream of walking a tightrope between them, I started crying and I couldn't stop. Phillipe Petit is a wonderful human being.

This film is truly, truly beautiful. Mr. Marsh takes a intriguing story and makes it the most interesting documentary ever made.

This film has been a huge inspiration to me as a filmmaker. How to tell a story in an exciting way, about something everyone knows already. Very inspiring to see how Marsh could make best use of his fantastic protagonist and dramaturgically create a line that would equal a thriller. I loved it!

The ambition of this man almost defies description. I can't say I'd ever try to do the same but I find his story to be a huge inspiration. He set his mind on what he thought at times to be an impossible task but even so still pushed himself onward into the unknown because he wanted it badly enough.

There have been more exhilarating skyscraper high-jinx, but they probably all borrowed from Phillippe Petit

Not sure I liked the man by the end of the film but his drive and what he did takes your breath away. Great film, did not disappoint .

A very beautiful piece made possible by Petit's dedicated friends who documented the entire process.

In An Expression Of The Inexpressible

"Crazy" people who actually know what life is all about and live it to the fullest; naive and full of passion. And that's why they suceed, You have to love them. Philippe Petit is an ignorant, self-centred genius and reminds me a lot of Bob Dylan in that matter. And again: I love geniuses who are on this edge of being dooshbags. An inspirational and honest documentary, but Marsh had easy work.

Keeps on the edge of your seat throughout. The thriller-like atmosphere leads to a cathartic ending.
