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.

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.

Leads Idris Elba and Kate Winslet are thoroughly solid in ‘The Mountain Between Us’ but the romantic angles of the film feel forced and awkward and as the film pivots towards full blown romance, it becomes a frozen mess, losing all signs of life.
