Why watch the movie The Climb?
""The Climb" is one of those films that make their way around festivals around the world. After all, it was awarded at the Certain Regard section of the Cannes Film Festival 2019, and also won the Jury Prize at the Deauville Festival 2019. It was also part of the official selection of the Toronto, Telluride and Rio Festivals in 2019, and Sundance and SXSW in 2020. And it's no wonder. This dramedy by Michael Angelo Covino, a first-time feature film director, is a good treatise on friendship, time and old age. Here we follow the journey of two men, Mike (the director himself) and Kyle (Kyle Marvin), playing homonymous characters in constant disagreement. After all, Mike sleeps with Kyle's fiancee and, from there, turns his life upside down when he tells the information during a cycling outing. It's funny, it's weird, it's eccentric. And, despite the slightly off-tone ending, it will undoubtedly win over the audience for its light yet reflective tone."

One hint, 6 chances, and a new movie to guess every day
Kyle and Mike are best friends who share a close bond -- until Mike sleeps with Kyle's fiancée. 'The Climb' is about a tumultuous but enduring relationship between two men across many years of laughter, heartbreak and rage. It is also the story of real-life best friends who turn their profound connection into a rich, humane and frequently uproarious film about the boundaries (or lack thereof) in all close friendships.
