Adventure. Drama. Romance Stranded after a tragic plane crash, two strangers must forge a connection to survive the extreme elements of a remote snow covered mountain. When they realize help is not coming, they embark on a perilous journey across hundreds of miles of wilderness, pushing one another to endure and discovering strength they never knew possible.

	Media	Author	Review
		Jordan Mintzer The Hollywood Reporter	"An easily digestible love story-cum-survival tale that tosses two excellent actors in the snow and lets them do their thing."
		Peter Debruge Variety	"This gorgeous-looking Fox production offers plenty of scenery to ogle, but not much else for the brain to do (...) [It] amounts to a fairly routine wilderness trek"
		Steve Pond The Wrap	"A love story cheapens the grand survival story (...) Winslet, Elba and Abu-Assad make us care for the characters’ survival, but they can’t make us care if they stay together afterwards."
		Noel Murray The Playlist	"'The Mountain Between Us' isn’t a bad movie, overall (...) But it’s only ever mildly engaging. The story skips a lot of fairly essential steps"
		David Ehrlich IndieWire	"Idris Elba and Kate Winslet generate enough heat to keep the frostbite at bay (...) [The script is] as wildly uneven as the terrain on which it takes place"
		Ignatiy Vishnevetsky AV Club	"Mawkish and clumsy (...) Winslet’s Alex and Elba’s Dr. Ben have zero romantic chemistry, though it’s not like the two seasoned actors are working with stellar material"
		Tim Grierson Screendaily	"The considerable chemistry between Kate Winslet and Idris Elba certainly helps sell this tearjerker, but even so the film feels oddly distant and muted"
		Jonathan Pile Empire	"Two compelling leads and a mix of adventure and romance. It’s a pleasant experience, if not one that will linger long in the memory (…) Rating: ★★★ (out of 5)"
		Benjamin Lee The Guardian	"A pair of engaging star turns elevate a satisfying, if simplistic, adventure (...) It’s a solidly entertaining diversion (…) Rating: ★★★ (out of 5)"
