Critics Consensus

The Mountain Between Us may be too far-fetched for some viewers to appreciate, but it's elevated by reliably engaging performances from Idris Elba and Kate Winslet.

In the end, all depends on the appeal of Elba and Winslet and they don't disappoint.

Winslet and Elba are easy actors to watch and the landscape shots are beautiful, but this movie is just silly.

I was surprised by the film's shift from adventure story to romantic melodrama, and yet the turn feels natural. Everyday life more often resembles a melodrama than an adventure story.

C-

Leads Idris Elba and Kate Winslet are thoroughly solid in ‘The Mountain Between Us’ but the romantic angles of the film feel forced and awkward and as the film pivots towards full blown romance, it becomes a frozen mess, losing all signs of life.

2/4

Winslet and Elba, of course, remain magnetic screen presences, though their dull character descriptions prevent anything beyond passing emotional investment.

The Mountain Between Us is an enthralling story from start to finish, one even more captivating to watch thanks to the captivating cinematography and excellent performances from Winslet and Elba.

So disappointing. The book was excellent - couldn’t put it down - and the movie was nothing like it. Even the characters’ personalities were so drastically different. The story outline was similar but that’s about as far as it goes. If you want a suspenseful story with a surprise ending then READ THE BOOK!

Filme fraco, o roteiro é fraco, as cenas são fracas, a história é fraca, o elenco é fraco, e ninguém ajuda a melhorar o filme, os personagens são fracos, e o filme deveria ter cenas bem melhores e relevantes, para fazer o filme ser bom
