SummaryAs an experienced climber (Naomi Watts) ascends Mt. Washington, she turns back before she reaches the summit as a huge blizzard approaches. But on her way down, she encounters a lone, stranded man, and takes it upon herself to get them both down the mountain before nightfall arrives and they succumb to the storm. Based on a true story.

Settings aside, Infinite Storm is Watt’s show, and she is thoroughly invested.

With this role, Watts is reminding us that she can hold the screen by herself and without saying a word tell you everything you need to know about a character — and all the while looking fantastic.

With this film, my interest in cinema increased. This picture is really like Van Gogh's works....

Watts’ stoic, sturdy performance and the film’s affecting and formula-busting third act make this Infinite Storm well worth weathering.

What sustains a viewer’s interest in Infinite Storm is Watts’ controlled performance, and the film’s direction.

Where the narrative’s bookends highlight the psychological and emotional toll of what happens (along with the whys), the bulk of the runtime is spent pretending as though the survival aspect of the journey is as captivating.

The film’s inertness is unexpected, and a tad disappointing, considering that first-time screenwriter Joshua Rollins has unearthed some genuinely fascinating details about Bales’s backstory that were not in either published account of the rescue.

Despite the refreshingly experiential flavor of Szumowska’s approach, her film is handcuffed by the facts of its true story, and Pam remains at such a pronounced emotional remove that it sometimes feels as if she’s only hiking up that mountain because the facts of the matter demand that she must.

Infinite Storm sabe muito bem a que veio, tem uma linha certeira onde quer chegar: a vida de duas pessoas são afetadas positivamente. O grande problema aqui é a condução do roteiro.
Naomi Watts faz o possível para entregar uma convincente alpinista, e de fato a atuação dela está bem na média esperada. Ela se aventura quando ocorre uma tempestade, tornando tudo mais difícil, até que encontra um homem pelo qual ela põe sua vida mais em risco e, ao que parece, o homem não está tão disposto a sobreviver assim. Logo, ela vai lutando não só contra a natureza, mas também com os problemas psicológicos do seu parceiro desconhecido.
Ele, por diversas vezes, dá mostra de querer se suicidar ou algo nesse sentido, e ela se desdobra para salvar a ambos. Em flashbacks, em momentos difíceis, ela relembra das filhas, mostrando também um apelo emocional da parte dela.
Quando falei anteriormente que o roteiro era um problema, é porque não houve um cuidado na inserção do expectador, tudo aconteceu de forma muito rápida e crua, tão logo o filme começa já começa a nevasca, parece que você está assistindo a um filme da discovery channel. Sendo assim, as ligações e o sentido só vão surgir ao final, quando há um diálogo um ano após o ocorrido, no mesmo lugar.
Cinema é potencialização das imagens. O que ocorreu com esse filme é que houve um cuidado nas cenas com a nevasca, e as outras precisaram de um grande contorcionismo para fazer sentido, não houve um preparo dos personagens, e muito do sentido ficou resumido em notas ou frases curtas. Ao menos a mensagem é interessante e tocante. E pelo fato de tudo ser baseado em fatos reais, emociona ainda mais. Entretanto, poderia ser melhor contada.

Naomi Watts played a good part. It seemed to lack a bit in plot. The scenery and wilderness was beautiful. Not a bad story of survival, just lacking a bit in other areas.

It was an okay movie. It was easy to follow because of only two main characters. There were no complicated relationships. t was also easy for me to understand because they didn't speak lots. It was hard for them to speak during the storm. Even if you are not an English speaker, you may understand the plot.

(Mauro Lanari)
"The whole universe appears as an infinite storm of beauty". Therefore, if Pam's two little daughters die, she just has to replace them by relaunching with 4 other children (Holly, Travis, Scott, Paul). So how should "John" replace his deceased partner, becoming bigamist? An existentialist survival movie with a really stupid message.

A silly white woman goes alone (please never do!) to the mountains, does stupid things, but never dies, because feminism, heroic struggles and feelings. A glorious celebration of modern film-making cluelessness. Avoid.
