Skywalkers: A Love Story

Angela and Ivan’s love story often feels almost too storybook to be plausible, but it’s next to impossible not to root for them as they support each other—often physically—through their many costumed security evasions and insane stunts.

Zimbalist (a sometime rooftopper) and his co-director Maria Bukhonina make it clear that the stunts are real but never get beyond a Photoshop version of the characters.

For all its problems, Skywalkers is often very watchable.

An unorthodox romance that will leave you sweaty-palmed and tearful, in equal measure. It doesn’t quite reach the heights it could, but there’s a hell of a view at the top.

This is a highly watchable and easily digestible document of two risk takers putting it all on the line, again and again. It's a breathless and often breathtaking look at life, likes and love.

On their own, these two might simply come across as narcissists with a death wish, so the film ruthlessly weds itself to the USP of them being in love -- like a slick Cupid locking down a Netflix deal.

Not for viewers with vertigo, Skywalkers: A Love Story is best appreciated as a travelogue rather than as a high-flying romance. ... The imagery, much of it thanks to the couple’s drone shots and precision, is indeed stunning.

In a world where reality TV offers up manufactured conflicts...as frequent as commercial breaks, it’s hard to know how much of the human drama...is real. Zimbalist, though, is a serious documentarian, so I’m willing to give him the benefit of the doubt.

With stunning cinematography, Skywalkers: A Love Story (about rooftopping couple Ivan Beerkus and Angela Nikolau) is an absorbing documentary that shows the parallels between the highs and lows in the couple's skyscraper stunts and in their relationship.

In a word? Bonkers.
