Critic Reviews
-
Geoff Pevere, Toronto Star
Fascinatingly evokes not just the gruelling, first-person details of this particular polar expedition, but the waning moments of the entire spirit of romantic, white-European Boy's Own adventurism.
-
Roger Moore, Orlando Sentinel
Beautifully blends interviews with scholars and descendants of that crew, still photos and movie film from the trip and re-creations of the events of the voyage.
-
Joe Baltake, Sacramento Bee
Hands-down, the most stirring and pertinent documentary of 2001.
-
Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times
Footage from a remarkable silent documentary has been combined with new photography, music and a narration to produce an even more remarkable sound documentary.
-
John Petrakis, Chicago Tribune
Most of all, it is a salute to Shackleton himself, whose calm and grace under extreme pressure helped guarantee that not a single crew member would be lost.
