3/5
The intimacy with these characters naturally makes the series more affecting, even if some of the performances are a bit stilted and raw. Go to Full Review Daniel D'Addario Variety 09/21/2022
The boys, in optimism and in fear, share a pleasant chemistry. The show is less steady when trying to conjure the social dynamics around the excavation... It’s at its strongest when letting the boys and their journey do the talking. Go to Full Review Todd Lazarski AV Club 09/21/2022

For as much as it can seem interesting and tense, the six-hour treatment begins to feel stagnant and bogged, like one of those coffee-ringed New Yorker articles that sits open on your desk for weeks... Go to Full Review Archi Sengupta LeisureByte.com 07/09/2024
2.5/5
Thai Cave Rescue is a somewhat emotional and poignant watch but it doesn't justify the unnecessarily long runtime. Go to Full Review Scott Campbell We Got This Covered 09/23/2022
3/5
It’s a story that’s been retold across several mediums already, so in that regard, Thai Cave Rescue doesn’t really have much reason to exist. Go to Full Review Joel Keller Decider 09/22/2022
The story is what’s going to keep viewers watching, because there aren’t really any compelling characters to latch onto. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

Stephen C @bob25009 06/02/2025 6 episodes based on a true story. In Thai and English versions with English subtitles!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! See more Siriporn P @Malee 01/16/2023 Too much added up dramas. Unnecessarily too long. The film made many unrealistic situations and stories. See more Jimmy R @Puppentiger 10/02/2022 Highly recommended. You´d think, okay the boys are trapped and divers gonna get them. Its not that simple. They portrait the difficult decision very well and also (I am no expert whatsoever) showing some of the local problems, the religion, the families... I dont give 5 stars just because of two things they didnt get right: Most of the boys couldnt even swim (in one scene it seems like they could) and they decided to start with the weakest (in the series it seems like they decided to start with the ones who are living far away). Maybe wikipedia is wrong, then I am sorry :) But in the end: please watch it. So good. See more Simran M @RT47611251 09/25/2022 Woahh! This was intense, in a good way. This story was gripping, emotional and heartwarming! I seriously recommend that you watch this!! See more Read all reviews
