Fifteen years of verite footage show the epic rivalry between half-pipe legends Shaun White and Kevin Pearce, childhood friends who become number one and two in the world leading up to the Vancouver Winter Olympics, pushing one another to ever more dangerous tricks, until Kevin crashes on a Park City half-pipe, barely surviving. As Kevin recovers from his injury, Shaun wins Gold. Now all Kevin wants to do is get on his snowboard again, even though medics and family fear this could kill him. We also celebrate Sarah Burke who crashed in Park City and died January 19, 2012.
Leave your thoughts about The Crash Reel.
| Financial TimesNigel AndrewsThe film captures the horror and danger and the druggy thrill. We understand why these kids want their "highs" even when the cost of coming low can be fatal. |
| National PostChris KnightEven as one participant notes cynically that the crowds come for the crashes, it's apparent that this is not the purpose of the footage in the film. The larger story is too tragic for that. |
| RogerEbert.comMarsha McCreadieIt’s thrilling for even a novice fan to watch Pearce. |
| The PlaylistKimber MyersThe Crash Reel can never be accused of being dry or boring, but Walker brings an energetic style that also complements its subject. |
| Toronto StarLinda BarnardMuch more than a sports film, Lucy Walker's Oscar-shortlisted The Crash Reel is a thrilling, inspiring, yet cautionary tale about extreme sports that never trades on sentiment. |
| Times (UK)Kate MuirJawdropping and jawbreaking stunts performed by professional snowboarders open Lucy Walker's latest documentary, but it is the aftermath of accidents that form the powerfully disturbing core of the film. |
| St. Paul Pioneer PressChris HewittSurprising and moving, it's a nonfiction wonder. |
| Minneapolis Star TribuneColin CovertThis is top-notch filmmaking in terms of its technique and its humane spirit. |
| Reeling ReviewsLaura CliffordWalker never preaches, she and Kos just lay out an incredible journey with a few supportive side trips to build her case against extreme sports while still celebrating the athletes who participate in them. |
| Independent (UK)Geoffrey MacnabLucy Walker's documentary is exhilarating and grim viewing. |
