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.

Two great actors did their best to save this movie, but it just wasn't enough. I expected a better plot and better character development, but the movie just falls flat.

Big Idris Elba fan and the plot is there, but it is pretty slow and corny at times.

I'm not sure what I expected here, but it managed to miss every mark I didn't know I had. Some nice scenery, and I liked the dog. Thats about all.

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.

Rated: 2/5

Chicago Reader

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.

Deep Focus Review

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

Rated: 2/4

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.

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...
