Why it’s a Monday Morning Maybe
With a box office flop and almost no lasting buzz, this one could be a tough watch. Keep your phone handy.
Based on critics, audiences, awards, box office and buzz. Details below.Is it for you?
- Who'll love it
- Tailor-made for people who get choked up at a comeback and anyone with a bit of wanderlust. You don't need to know the game to feel the big moments. Sits nicely alongside Free Solo or The Dawn Wall.
- The mood
- Exciting, eye-opening.
- The pace
- Well paced for a documentary, at 1 hr 34 min.
- What might put you off
- It's in Swedish, so expect subtitles (or a dub).
- Skip it if you want made-up drama tonight.
Crackoholic , by Jonas Paulsson and Mikael Widerberg, is quite different to most other climbing movies. The style is somewhat similar to that of the classic Hard Grit, in that it provides a historical perspective to the climbing of the area. In this case Bohusln on the Swedish west coast. We also get to meet and listen to some of the climbers who, through the decades, have been important to the development, of difficulty as well as ethics, and hear their thoughts on climbing and risk. As would be expected, these thoughts range from profound to cliche. Of course, there's also a lot of climbing, from moderates to FA's of cutting edge "death" routes.
