The Climb

Mike (Michael Angelo Covino) is a better cyclist than Kyle (Kyle Marvin). So, it figures that a steep French mountain is the best place to ruefully confess that he's slept with Kyle's fiancee, where his best friend can process this betrayal in relative solitude but can't quite match Mike's pedal power to take revenge. Co-writers Michael Angelo Covino and Kyle Marvin expand their 2018 short into a comedy-drama marathon. Their time-skipping vignettes, frequently realized in ambitious single takes, reveal an often toxic and occasionally balm-like co-dependency. Imbuing traditional comic set-pieces - family Christmas, disastrous bachelor party, interrupted wedding - with genuine cinematic flair, [link=tt8637440) expertly shifts gears between full-blooded slapstick and wince-inducing studies of romantic and fraternal relationships, which sometimes crash but always seem to find the friends getting back in the saddle.

This movie was really good compared to a lot of those out there.

Loved it! Action, great story, mushy moments, suspense. Kyle Marvin still looking good....5 stars!

Excellent film. Michael Angelo Covino and Judith Godrèche give amazing performances.

Very good movie we enjoyed!

The best movie I've seen in a long long time. Beautifully written and executed. Seriously. Amazing.

Slow start, but worth watching.

A Comedy that I will be watching again and again!

Real or not, this movie is one hell of a journey! The cinematography is just unrealistic good. Outstanding!

Great movie with amazing actors! I have been expecting this film for a long time now. And tonight when I finally got to see it I was not let down.

I loved it so much. Best movie this year! It is entertainment, it is excellent, it is wonderful and Judith Godrèche is perfect!!!

Superb! I rarely get to go to a movie with my older son after his siblings came along. We did manage to go to this movie in the cinemas. Not only were we glad we chose this movie to watch, but we still recall the impact this movie had on both of us.
