Leave your thoughts about The Mountain Between Us.
| Assignment XAbbie BernsteinThe Mountain Between Us has a lot of flaws, but there is something to be said for a love story where the parties involved treat each other with decency and respect -- and keep track of the dog. |
| The PlaylistNoel MurrayThe Mountain Between Us isn’t a bad movie, overall. The scenery’s gorgeous, the two leads are enormously appealing, and nothing about the dialogue or visual style particularly grates. This is an easy picture to watch… and to root for, in a way, because it’s so rarely overbearing. But it’s only ever mildly engaging. |
| AV ClubIgnatiy VishnevetskyRemove the nonsensical characterizations and The Mountain Between Us becomes a cornball paean to rock formations and (mostly male) beauty. |
| Detroit NewsAdam GrahamThere's a bigger obstruction here than the mountain between the characters: it's the story that can't get out of the way of itself. |
| Reeling ReviewsRobin CliffordYes, we have been here before, many times, but the talented Kate and Idris make you care about Alex and Ben's plight (it does not hurt that hey have a cool dog with them) and want them safe. |
| ABC Radio BrisbaneMatthew ToomeyIdris Elba and Kate Winslet are both terrific actors but their skills are not enough to save this sappy mess. |
| Tampa Bay TimesSteve PersallAin't no mountain high enough, no plot valley deep enough, to keep Idris Elba and Kate Winslet from setting off romantic sparks in The Mountain Between Us. But this movie surely doesn't do them any favors. |
| Movie ChambersPaul ChambersThe survival aspects of this mountain adventure are less than satisfying. |
| Black Girl NerdsKay-B GiddensThe Mountain Between Us is beautiful with unique cinematography and bold direction but also speaks to the resilience of the human spirit and ultimately, the power of love. |
| indieWireDavid EhrlichIt’s fantastically unrealistic stuff from the first minute to the last (and there are far too many minutes between them), but Idris Elba and Kate Winslet generate enough heat to keep the frostbite at bay, and Mandy Walker’s stunning location cinematography ensures that the film looks considerably more authentic than it feels. |
