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.

The Mountain Between Us | Rotten Tomatoes (1) Sandra Hall Sydney Morning Herald In the end, all depends on the appeal of Elba and Winslet and they don't disappoint. Rated: 3/5 Oct 20, 2017 Full Review The Mountain Between Us | Rotten Tomatoes (2) Stephen Romei The Australian Winslet and Elba are easy actors to watch and the landscape shots are beautiful, but this movie is just silly. Rated: 2/5 Oct 19, 2017 Full Review The Mountain Between Us | Rotten Tomatoes (3) Ben Sachs 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. Oct 19, 2017 Full Review The Mountain Between Us | Rotten Tomatoes (4) Brian Eggert 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 Mar 17, 2022 Full Review The Mountain Between Us | Rotten Tomatoes (5) Lauren Bradshaw Fangirl Freakout 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. Rated: B Nov 21, 2021 Full Review The Mountain Between Us | Rotten Tomatoes (6) Hosea Rupprecht Pauline Center for Media Studies 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...

John Marius G As far as credibility goes, it fails terribly, but there’s nothing wrong with the actors or the acting. The chemistry is almost palpable. Rated 2.5/5 Stars • Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 10/14/24 Full Review Nur Ashikin J I love this movie. It is underrated. I was immersed. I understood both their feelings at the end of the movie whilst both were walking away in different directions. The "I can't breathe moment". When people go through tramautic incidents like this - only the two of them knows how it feels to feel safe. Ben made her feel safe and Ben was drawn to want to make her feel safe, all he wanted to do was look for her and make sure she's okay. I felt that at the end of it. Noone can love you more than the person who will not give up on you (almost losing you twice or thrice) when he could have saved himself. Rated 5/5 Stars • Rated 5 out of 5 stars 09/11/24 Full Review Toby G The premise of this film is fine, albeit unoriginal. It had the potential to be a great love story, an edge-of-the-seat romance of two people whose love rose from the fires of tragedy. But despite the considerable run-time and the unlikely context, the characters were not relatable and their blossoming love even less so. As for the ending, I laughed.A real shame as I generally like both actors. I think it was more the writing, and perhaps directing, which let it down. Rated 2/5 Stars • Rated 2 out of 5 stars 05/31/24 Full Review Dani G Survival romance drama starring two performers with great, strong personalities that had a good chemistry. Rated 3/5 Stars • Rated 3 out of 5 stars 05/26/24 Full Review Tanisha R This movie is awful. This is the one time in a movie where I do not like Kate Winslet. I found her character to be so annoying that I would have left her in the mountains. I can't even say that this one had potential. They should have just made this an all out romance instead of whatever other story they were trying to tell. I don't know if the middle or the ending was the worst or just equally bad. Rated 1.5/5 Stars • Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 05/02/24 Full Review Georgan G Terrific survival drama with amazing acting by Idris Elba & Kate Winslet. I found no glaring holes in the plot & enjoyed it right up to the end. Rated 3.5/5 Stars • Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 03/03/24 Full Review Read all reviews
