Here are review links for this film submitted by our members:
- Sarah Boslaugh @ The Arts STL
- Excerpt: [The Rescue] plays out as smoothly as a scripted Hollywood drama, so you almost have to remind yourself that some of the shots you are seeing could not possibly have been captured during the actual rescue—and that’s a real tribute to the skill of the filmmakers.
- Sarah Gopaul @ Digital Journal
- Excerpt: In spite of its real-life subject, the film is akin to an edge-of-your-seat thriller.
- Mark Leeper @ Mark Leeper’s Reviews
- Excerpt: THE RESCUE is a documentary about the rescue of a Thai boys’ soccer team trapped in Tham Luang Cave in June 2018, when an early monsoon rainfall blocked many of the entrances and would soon flood the cave. Unfortunately, while the rescue was a momentous rescue, the film ended up just average, with perhaps too many scenes of people outside the cave that did not convey new information.
- Mike McGranaghan @ The Aisle Seat
- Excerpt: Get ready for 107 minutes that will have you white-knuckling the armrests of your chair.

- Excerpt: Beyond showing what went into getting those boys out, Vasarhelyi and Chin are documenting the Herculean effort that went into even believing it could be done.
