I'm utterly shocked at the reviews I'm seeing on all the big sites - from fans and critics alike.

Having read a few, I can only say the issues others seem to have had upon seeing "The Mountain Between Us" were, for the most part high points for me. I thought the entire story, the acting, the plot - and especially the pace and arc of the story/characters - were, in a word, perfect. Not a perfect movie, but neither was this a case of "good for what it is" movie either (like some of the guilty pleasure movies I've enjoyed for purely escapist value). I found that depth, substance and authenticity pushed "The Mountain Between Us" so far beyond the vast majority of pictures with similar descriptions/trailers that it at once satisfies, defies and elevates the so-called survival thriller genre.… Expand

A touching film, that unites a survival story and a love story. And it's the entangled love story, that make the whole script very interesting and real. If I say it was predictable I wouldn't mean it as a bad thing. Not at all. I don't careA touching film, that unites a survival story and a love story. And it's the entangled love story, that make the whole script very interesting and real. If I say it was predictable I wouldn't mean it as a bad thing. Not at all. I don't care if it was predictable, because it was also captivating and I was watching it carefully. And it was interesting to me. The both characters were played brilliantly and that's why the film felt so veritable. Cinematographically, visually 'The moutain between us' is magnificent. And the great thing is that the end was stunning. We all know how hard is to make the end being good and to match the movie. Here we see amazing end, which leaves you without words, with a big smile on the face. The whole love story was authentic for which good directing and good acting play contributed. I really don't get why people expect only drama, bad things happening and sad ending .

The things I would recommend is the duration, may be I would have put a little bit more sounds and music, but not much, because that would destroy the authentic sense . I love this movie. It is well done and it did it's job to effect.… Expand

Kate Winslet and Idris Elba play strangers who are stranded in the middle of the snow-covered wilderness after their small plane crashes. The first half features some gripping moments of danger and bleak desperation, but that tensionKate Winslet and Idris Elba play strangers who are stranded in the middle of the snow-covered wilderness after their small plane crashes. The first half features some gripping moments of danger and bleak desperation, but that tension dissipates when their relationship starts to dominate the plot. With lesser actors in the roles, it might have been a sappy disaster, but these 2 have the chops to bring courage and conflict. Even with some predictable twists, this starts promisingly as a riveting survival story. However, the second half can't sustain the tension and loses some of the emotional impact.… Expand

I find myself totally disagreeing with the critics and with the reader reviews on Metacritic about this movie. I kept waiting for it to bomb, but it never did.

I kept waiting for it to bomb, but it never did. And at the showing I attended (which had many more people than I expected – all silent and attentive), someone applauded at the end – too bad I didn’t have the guts to join him/her. No, the film was not perfect, but it was absorbing, partly because Elba and Winslet were completely believable. I didn’t doubt for a minute that they were on the mountain, although I must admit I figured they would get off eventually – and they did keep getting saved from freezing by one thing or another. I would recommend this film, although maybe not to the fan boys at Blade Runner 2049, which I saw the previous day. I must admit I liked The Mountain Between Us a lot better. It certainly was far more believable than Blade Runner 2049 – and I found the original Blade Runner completely believable.… Expand

Un film poignant et quelques scènes vraiment sublimes!
Un enjeu humain maîtrisé! Le film nous noie dans un océan de neige. Contrastée et belle cette histoire nous emporte dans une course à la survie qui nous emprisonne jusqu'à la fin!

Ce film se donne des allures romantiques marquées. Cette évolution va conduire les personnages à faire des choix forts pour la suite de leur vie. Le plus marquant est de voir que les événements n'ont pas seulement changé leurs objectifs de vie, mais tous ce qu'elle était et ce qu'elle est devenue. Un partage en couple exigé pour une belle soirée!

very simple movie nothing innovative but it is good even with a cliché ending that everyone already knew what was going to happen.

EVEN BEING THE WAY I TOLD THIS MOVIE, IT STILL GUARANTEES YOU GOOD HOURS OF ENTERTAINMENT
