"Like fellow adrenaline junkie Alex Honnold, whose untethered attempts to scale the formidable El Capitan were chronicled in the Oscar-winning Free Solo, [skier/BASE jumper Matthias] Giraud’s white-knuckle pursuit, which takes him from Mt. Hood to the Matterhorn, doesn’t skimp on the anticipated wow factor."
—Michael Rechtshaffen, Los Angeles Times -
“A hilarious, jaw-dropping philosopher king.”
– 60 MINUTES -
“All in all, ‘Super Frenchie’ - a title that comes from the nickname that Giraud has given himself - is an exciting feature.”
– Dan Webster, SPOKESMAN- REVIEW (WASHINGTON) -
“Watching the footage of Giraud BASE jumping is enough to make you hold your breath or grip the armrests of your chair.”
– Mike McGranaghan, AISLE SEAT -
“Captivating…whether jumping off a cliff or recounting his life’s experiences.”
