Valerie Kalfrin AWFJ.org The Mountain ... has the spirit of backyard adventures writ large. ...[T]he film is a touching ode to friendship and seemingly random yet meaningful moments. Sep 26, 2024 Full Review Sarah Gopaul Digital Journal Māori traditions are sprinkled throughout the narrative... Their adventure doesn’t bring any life-altering revelations, but does allow them to find friendship at a time in their lives when they’re all feeling very much alone. Sep 26, 2024 Full Review Jared Mobarak Hey, Have You Seen ...? It never talks down to them by sugar-coating what these kids are going through. It never falls prey to artificial sentiment either like so many adult stories with the same subject matter do as a result of our collective desire for avoidance. Rated: 7/10 Sep 12, 2024 Full Review Louisa Moore Screen Zealots A heartfelt and charming adventure that taps into the innocence and wonder of childhood. Captures the simple yet profound joys of being a kid, when every day felt like an adventure and friendships were built on shared quests and dreams. Sep 12, 2024 Full Review Nadine Whitney InSession Film The Mountain is a delightful, magical, mystical, and melancholy film brimming with humor and tenderness. Aotearoa and the world are blessed to have Rachel House as a creative force and one hopes she will continue behind the camera. Rated: A Sep 10, 2024 Full Review Abe Friedtanzer The Film Experience This feels like exactly the kind of film that House would make given the comedy work she typically does, though it is perfectly family-friendly... it has heart and a delightful larger-than-life nature. Rated: B+ Sep 7, 2024 Full Review Read all reviews
