Thirteen Lives - Reviews

...this tale of hope, fear, service, and triumph is some of Ron Howard’s most engrossing work in quite some time.

...a solid and compelling watch that stands as a testament to people's resilient spirits.

...a breathtaking survival story.

Remarkable dramatisation of a true story.

...Howard succeeds in conveying the Herculean task of the compelling Tham Luang cave rescue.

Ron Howard’s recreation of the 2018 rescue of a Thai junior football team is an impressively claustrophobic piece of cinema.

...reminds us that communal acts can be what literally save us.

A gripping dramatisation of an incredible true story.

Ron Howard's warm-hearted drama focuses on the courage of the British divers during the 2018 Thai cave rescue.

Alternately epic and intimate in scope, this is an old-fashioned entertainment about the real-life heroes who left no rock unturned against seemingly hopeless odds and pulled off one of the great rescue stories of the ages.

Howard's retelling is more grounded than an Avengers movie but no less sensational -- and far more impactful.

...the second half is a riveting depiction of a daring, foolhardy, inspired rescue.
