Veteran directors Curtis Hanson and Michael Apted collaborate to tell the inspirational true story of a young surfer who dedicated his life to conquering one of the world's biggest waves in
Chasing Mavericks (after Hanson was sidelined due to health issues, Apted was forced to step in and direct the remainder of the film). Although a stilted setup might lead some to suspect that two is a crowd when it comes to telling such an intimate story, the pair work in perfect harmony in terms of both style and storytelling once the main plot becomes apparent, leaving us with a beautifully shot tale of friendship and perseverance that effectively builds dramatic momentum...
