    What a frightening and inspiring story. Philippe Petit is probably the guy with the biggest balls on earth ! I literally sweat watching him crossing the twin towers on the wire cable. As a person whose terrified of heights it's inconceivable for me to see what he achieved. The talent, the organisation, the determination, the audacity, and the courage.

It's not too cheesy, it's pretty reliable and accurate. The movie keeps the right tone all along. It's a good light drama who doesn't take risks but do the job its supposed to do.

    Besides I thought the soundtrack could be…

    After watching for the second time I strongly think that this movie is underrated. It offers some of the most spectacular visuals made by computer. The animation is amazing, the world building is smart, the dialogues and the storyline are relatable, the artistic direction is brilliant and the movie is funny. It's a sweet story written for people in need of a push or people who needs to…
