The Climb

...Covino’s film is an exhilarating anomaly, if not a wake-up call for the visual potential of heartfelt comedy.

...a film that deals with the lengths (and depths) men go to preserve the sanctity of their bond in low-key, funny and surprising ways.

...I can’t think of a film about male friends told with such microscopic attention to detail.

...this smart indie drama uses a series of vignettes to explore the ebb and flow of Mike and Kyle’s relationship.

...all the episodes (...) are invariably funny and revealing.

...feels both inherently ridiculous and entirely true to life; a bittersweet bromance writ in whiskey and spandex.
