I enjoyed the film but towards the end I really couldn't feel any sympathy for the family. I was sadder for Conrad then Alex's wife and kids. It seems like they resent him but just chose to do a documentary about him because he was "famous" and disappeared in an avalanche. There was never any mention of Alex as their "father" or "dad" he was just always Alex. Of course, this doesn't mean that IS what they feel but that's the vibe I got while watching this because it seemed like the kids were annoyed that this was even going to be a topic.
