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

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...

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.

By no means original, but Winslet and Elba have plenty of chemistry to keep you invested.

Full Review | Original Score: 3/5 | Nov 5, 2020

...there's nothing that stands out so much as to make the film worth recommending.

Beautiful people, beautiful scenery. It's hard to screw that up. But they really did.

Full Review | 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.

Full Review | 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.

Full Review | 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.

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.

Full Review | 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.

Full Review | Original Score: C+ | Mar 4, 2019

A forgettable survival in the snow tale.

Full Review | 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.

Full Review | 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.

Full Review | 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.

Full Review | 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.
