Man on Wire

This is a highly-praised documentary concerning the efforts of Philippe Petit and his high-wire crossing between the twin towers of the World Trade Center in 1974. Lots of interviews, remembrances and so on but it all just adds up to an exercise in boredom. Painfully dull and ultimately uninteresting. A big letdown considering how many good things I'd heard about it prior to watching. 3/10.
