Boxoffice Magazine Pam Grady

Part saga of days gone by, part psychological portrait of the mountaineering spirit, as well as a tale of adventure, Anthony Geffen's documentary will rivet fans of the sport and history buffs alike. Read full review

Kirk Honeycutt

"Dream" brings together so much history, sheer adventure and terrifying moments. Read full review

Peter Rainer

It's all a bit hokey, though the mountaineering footage is often spectacular. Read full review

Andrew Barker

A solid, gorgeous-looking documentary marred only slightly by a tendency to bury the lead -- namely, its subject, George Mallory. Read full review

Wesley Morris

The most powerful moment in the film is a tiny one. Anker and his Irvine, Leo Houlding, plan to reenact most of Mallory's climb wearing gabardine and hobnail boots instead of North Face and Gore-Tex. Read full review

Lisa Schwarzbaum

The voices of Liam Neeson -- as the film's narrator -- and his late wife, Richardson, inevitably add to the project's poignance. Read full review

Jeannette Catsoulis
