What to Know

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.

3/5
In the end, all depends on the appeal of Elba and Winslet and they don't disappoint. Go to Full Review

2/5
Winslet and Elba are easy actors to watch and the landscape shots are beautiful, but this movie is just silly. Go to Full Review
Ben Sachs Chicago Reader 10/19/2017
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. Go to Full Review

2/4
Winslet and Elba, of course, remain magnetic screen presences, though their dull character descriptions prevent anything beyond passing emotional investment. Go to Full Review

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. Go to Full Review

Sometimes the movie manages to drag a little as limping Alex slogs along behind Ben but that gives the audience time to admire the breathtaking scenery of the film... Go to Full Review

alan g @agenser Dec 22 Just an excuse for interracial porn. See more Синем С Jun 13 Those who gave it five stars, obviously do not even know about the book. Completely disappointed… See more Rachel G May 5 Having read the book before watching the movie, the movie is extremely disappointing. Most of the movie is the complete opposite of what happened in the book, and there were things in the movie that never happened in the book. If you are watching without reading the book, this would be a 3/5, good story line, but extremely sped up from what it was. See more Holley I Mar 12 I've watched this movie twice and will watch it again. Some reviewers seem to think the story is pretty far-fetched, but having flown in small planes through the Rockies in good weather, I can tell you the fear of such an accident is very real. I do think an experienced pilot wouldn't fail to file a flight plan, but otherwise it could happen. If I had to be in a crash, I'd hope to have a doctor with me like Ben. The two stars in this movie have interesting chemistry, they are both really good actors and combined with the beautiful mountain scenery, it's worth a viewing. See more D.M. J Mar 10 Squandered plot and story. Not interesting, enaging, or challenging. I am not sure if I would have finished without the desire to give a fair review of the entire film. If you like predictable and cartoonish romances driven by circumstance and survival stories, perhaps you'll like this. Then again, you may also enjoy appreciating the main main actors. :) See more Mikael Feb 1 Too unrealistic and gringe i guess. I just didn’t like it. Didn’t really need that ending either.
