The Ascent is quite the intriguing documentary. It dives deep into Mandy Horvath's harrowing journey as a bilateral amputee climber, attempting something most would deem impossible. The pacing strikes a balance between moments of intense challenge and quieter reflections, which adds layers to her story. There's a raw authenticity in the way it showcases her tenacity. The practical effects, though not flashy, really serve to ground the film, making her struggles feel all the more visceral. And the atmosphere? It's both somber and uplifting, weaving in the harsh realities of loss alongside the sheer power of human spirit. An interesting watch for those who appreciate documentaries that go beyond the surface.
