Deborah Young The Hollywood Reporter An adventure film with its heart in the modern tradition of Romanian film drama, it should appeal to a larger audience than pure art house fans. Jun 21, 2021 Full Review M.N. Miller Ready Steady Cut The Father Who Moves Mountains is a gripping character study in obsession and redemption. Rated: 3.5/5 Oct 9, 2022 Full Review Robert W. Butler Butler's Cinema Scene Tudor Vladimir Panduru's cinematography captures all the harsh beauty of the mountains in winter while carefully mapping the changing emotions on human faces. Rated: B Sep 23, 2021 Full Review JK Sooja Common Sense Media The scenery and cinematography on display are gorgeous and lush. The rest of the elements of The Father Who Moves Mountains, unfortunately, are quite underwhelming and disappointing. Rated: 2/5 Sep 21, 2021 Full Review Johnny Loftus Decider The Father Who Moves Mountains skilfully balances the turmoil at work inside a man inspired by love and guilt against the threatening majesty of a mountain that understands nothing as infinitesimal as one human life.

Ulises G Malos actores. La trama no tiene sentido. Del final, mejor ni comentar. Terrible. Lo único rescatable es la fotografía. Rated 1 out of 5 stars 01/27/25 Full Review CHRISTOPHER B Queeeé? Esto es de lo peor que he visto, no tiene por dónde salvarla, sé que quiere transmitir la impotencia del padre al no poder hacer nada pero en verdad ese final no me gustó nada, esperaba algún tipo de Plot twist y la terminan de golpe. Encima se vuelve demasiado pesada porque en 1 hora no avanza la trama para nada. Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 01/21/25 Full Review David B The "hero" of the film is so irritating that it obscures any other merits the film might have. He constantly is asking other people in the film if they wouldn't do what he was doing if they were in his shoes, and my answer was always "No!". Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 01/11/25 Full Review Philip M Terrible movie, no ending, dreadful acting and a waste of two hours of my life Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 10/18/24 Full Review Xander S This was a very bad movie it was slow and a downer. Waste of time DO NOT WATCH. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 03/09/24 Full Review Sofia If you have the money and power you can get anyone to help you dig in meters of snow, when you could only wait a few months and the same snow will melt and let free the son...Horrible movie. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 11/07/23 Full Review Read all reviews
