She doesn't take up too much room.

Free Solo – 3/5

It's an amusement park VR ride. You feel the tension of the ride jerking you up and down and around all over, but the actor at the center is just going through the motions. Alex Honnold is calm while the world around him is screaming. The tension is fun, and the movie lucks into an emotional conundrum at the center. She loves him. He loves her. But not as much as it. Their loves are in competition with each other. The world isn't always torn apart by hate, but by loves that don't quite match up. Best of luck to them.
