On August 7, 1974, a 24-year-old French high-wire artist named Philippe Petit committed one of the most astonishing performance stunts of the late 20th century: he strung a thin cable in between the two towers of the World Trade Center and not only walked across, from one building to another, but did a nerve-wracking series of knee-bends and acrobatic movements on the cable, some 1,350 feet above the ground, before turning himself in. This occurred to the consternation and chagrin of Port Authority policemen, who immediately arrested Petit for the act -- prompting many to dub Petit's stunt "the artistic crime of the century." James Marsh's documentary Man on Wire revisits and recounts this chain of events some 34 years after they occurred. ~ Nathan Southern, Rovi

New Review For Movie Man on Wire
It all makes for an absorbing, mischievously amusing yarn, whose climax unfolds with unexpected emotional force.Ann Hornaday-Washington Post
In this exhilarating, palm-moistening documentary by British filmmaker James Marsh (Wisconsin Death Trip), the twin towers are back to celebrate one of their finest moments.
Jonathan F. Richards-Film.com
By any rational gauge, Petit's WTC obsession was flat-out crazy, but Marsh takes a limpid, nonjudgmental view of it all.
Peter Rainer-Christian Science Monitor
Though we know how it ends, it unfolds with suspense. And though it lacks any discussion of the towers' destruction, it succeeds as a tribute to their birth.
Amy Biancolli-Houston Chronicle
James Marsh tells Petit's story, the most inspiring 'heist' in modern history, a Frenchman's stroll between two 110 story buildings in lower Manhattan.
Roger Moore-Orlando Sentinel
In archival photos Petit seems to float between the towers, a tiny black figure against a vivid blue sky; the images are all the more poignant for the unstated fact that Petit is still around when the buildings aren't.
J. R. Jones-Chicago Reader
The pains of the public eye are acknowledged just as much as the joy this artistic endeavour brought people.
Mike Edwards-What Culture
Despite a known outcome, James Marsh's documentary offers sublime thrills - grafting the tense suspense of a heist film onto an existential dissection of artistic accomplishment and true friendship.
Nick Rogers-Suite101.com
The tension builds incrementally, reaching almost unbearable heights at its dizzying climax.

Joseph Proimakis-Movies for the Masses
Interviewed today, Petit is a whale of a storyteller, and he recalls with relish the chilling details of that amazing day.
Gerald Peary-Boston Phoenix
Man On Wire's cinematic tension that in the wire Philippe Petit balanced on as he walked between the Twin Towers in the history-making high wire stunt shown in this compelling documentary. The film's also a poignant memorial to the hallowed Twin To
Jennifer Merin-About.com
Not only a fun heist movie but also a moving tale of spiritual uplift and beauty.
Devin Faraci-CHUD
The details of how the event was planned and staged are fascinating, but a crucial element missing from the film is good cinematography of the actual event.
Robert Roten-Laramie Movie Scope
A feat like the one Philippe Petit pulled off deserves to be documented.
Jeffrey Chen-Window to the Movies
I would have found it easier to get emotionally invested in Le Coup (rather than abstractly awed) if I had a better sense of his coup de foudre.
Karina Montgomery-Cinerina
Petit transforms his stories into mini-masterpieces of performance.
David Cornelius-eFilmCritic.com
An exhilarating experience not to be missed, either its enlightening peek inside the elite mind of an extraordinary individual or its ethereal tribute to the Twin Towers.
Kam Williams-NewsBlaze
Man on Wire is absolutely breathtaking, a documentary as life-affirming as it is artistically intoxicating.
