The Mountain Between Us Reviews
Winslet and Elba, of course, remain magnetic screen presences, though their dull character descriptions prevent anything beyond passing emotional investment.
| Original Score: 2/4 | Mar 17, 2022
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.
| Original Score: B | Nov 21, 2021
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...

It's all a bit silly - three weeks in and unwashed they still are a fetching couple - but at least there's no cannibalism and no, they don't eat the dog.
| Original Score: 1/5 | Mar 1, 2021
By no means original, but Winslet and Elba have plenty of chemistry to keep you invested.
| Original Score: 3/5 | Nov 5, 2020
...there's nothing that stands out so much as to make the film worth recommending.
| Original Score: 2.5/5 | Oct 1, 2020
Beautiful people, beautiful scenery. It's hard to screw that up. But they really did.
| Original Score: 4/10 | Jul 12, 2020
Much like the ill-fated flight that opens the film, The Mountain Between Us starts strong, cruises along at a serviceable altitude, and then comes crashing down in the end.

What we get is a weird survival romance with tedious dialogue. I love Winslet, as I'm sure we all do, but after a while her character goes from witty to whiny.

it is a failed drama that is not worse almost exclusively because of the work of Elba and Winslet. [Full Review in Spanish]

If you love Winslet or Elba or you read the book, then you should see this movie.
| Original Score: 2.5/5 | Aug 5, 2019
Elba and Winslet are both excellent, and when the saga continues beyond where most other movies would have it end, they provide the glue that holds the increasingly diffuse project together.
| Original Score: 2.5/4 | Jul 21, 2019
Elba and Winslet are magnetic from the start, and do their best to elevate the otherwise tired material.
| Original Score: 2.5/4 | Jun 4, 2019
Brisk action, blossoming romance, and a dog: it may not scream Oscar, but that doesn't mean The Mountain Between Us isn't one of the best movies in theatres right now.
| Original Score: 7/10 | Apr 16, 2019
This is a very dopey romantic survival story. Good thing for this movie is I like dopey romantic survival stories.
| Original Score: C+ | Mar 4, 2019
A forgettable survival in the snow tale.
| Original Score: C | Feb 25, 2019
Ultimately let down by a weak, sappy screenplay and a disappointing final act that may have you scoffing into your popcorn.
| Original Score: 2/5 | Feb 22, 2019
It's as if someone wrote a high-end romantic drama and couldn't sell it, so they decided to turn the meet-cute into a plane-crash-in-the-wilderness-cute.
| Original Score: 1.5/5 | Feb 11, 2019
You should know going into the film that it is probably 65% romance/drama and only 35% suspenseful survival story. If you go in with those expectations, I think you'll better appreciate the film.
| Original Score: 6.5/10 | Feb 6, 2019
Mired in the feeble drama of vague logistical bickering, predictable revelations, and tiresome logic-vs-instinct dichotomies.
