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 온라인카지노추천 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.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Aug 8, 2024

Angela and Ivan's stunts are better suited to Instagram than a feature-length film.

| Original Score: 5/10 | Aug 8, 2024

It’s beautiful. It’s terrifying.

| Original Score: B | Aug 2, 2024

Skywalkers: A Love Story holds your interest in ways that more hyped up films can't.

| Jul 30, 2024

They’re certainly compelling subjects, and the documentary gives us a front-row seat to their relationship dynamics and Angela’s occasional anxiety.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Jul 29, 2024

At times, its uncomfortable viewing – sometimes more so when the scenes involve emotions and feelings, rather than potentially death-defying athleticism – but the overall reward for the viewer is worth the occasional bout of queasiness.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Jul 26, 2024

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.

| Original Score: B- | Jul 26, 2024

The film is admittedly well-shot, full of death-defying imagery that will amaze most audiences. But the subtitle of Zimbalist’s film – A Love Story – implies an emotional hook that never arrives.

| Original Score: 2.5/5 | Jul 25, 2024

Nikolai and Beerkus are bona fide artists and know how to strike a pose atop the universe, and the shots looking down are viscerally dizzying – if you have acrophobia, this is your content warning.

| Original Score: 2.5/4 | Jul 25, 2024

Sure, my agoraphobia made me anxious through most of it, and I paused or looked away several times, but otherwise I was surprisingly thoroughly entertained.

| Jul 21, 2024

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.

| Original Score: 2/4 | Jul 21, 2024

What marks Skywalkers is just how surprisingly boring it is.

| Jul 20, 2024

For all its problems, Skywalkers is often very watchable.

| Jul 20, 2024

It's far too easy to get lost in the gulf that separates their jerky GoPro footage from flying drone shots that look ripped from travel insurance commercials.

| Jul 20, 2024

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.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Jul 19, 2024

Don’t watch Skywalkers for its love-story shenanigans -- those are tough to swallow. Watch it to test your acrophobia, and for the keenly observational metaphors lurking beneath the blatantly contrived ones.

| Jul 19, 2024

It’s a beautiful story in an even more beautiful package that proves we should never stop holding out our hands and reaching for the sky — or one another.

| Original Score: 8/10 | Jul 19, 2024
