Our Judges say:
Who doesn’t love Molly? And who didn’t exclaim “oh no!” when they found out that she’d broken her ankle? Really enjoyed following her recovery in the film and watching her contentment unfold. Combined with the legendary Caro, this is a great addition to climbing films overallFrit Tam
