I was at a few ski lodges in the 70s & 80s. Those are fond memories, so this film was a bit nostalgic for me in some ways. I found all the participants to be clear and relatable, which is a nod to a great director and producer. There was actual footage when available. This film is not really entertainment so much as story telling and it's very informative and emotional. There's a definite level of intimacy between the survivors and the audience.
I wasn't very familiar with the story so I was on the edge of my sest to see if Bridget was correct ❤
When they brought up the law suit, I knew right away this was an act of God and the attorney that took the case knew he was just stealing that family's money. Such a sad reality but you're on a mountain in the middle of a fierce storm and you decide to take a walk? Yes, I am in the legal field and the fact is, the ski lodge did not have a duty to inform anyone that snow can be dangerous any more than a beach front carnival has a duty to post warnings about rip tides or sharks. It was a tragedy, to be sure, but no ones fault.
One review claims the film is maudlin and pathetic. I'm not sure if their platform called Buried an Action film or why they weren't expecting emotions and personal accounts. So I'll just say: Tell me your a sociopath without telling me your a sociopath.
