Hard to watch for someone afraid of heights. Just when you think matters cannot get more hopeless, they do. You really find yourself on the mountain with these climbers as you are watching and it is truly terrifying... Full review

I wonder why movies like this don't become more popular. This movie will change the way you look at the world of mountaineering. Deeply insightful, harrowing, and incredibly moving. It is an unforgettable story of survival, hope, resilience, and human bonding.... Full review

I Shouldn't Be Alive uses the same storytelling technique as Touching the Void : present-day interviews with the survivors of each ordeal are intercut with minimalist re-enactments of the events.
