Awix (3310 KP) rated The Mountain Between Us (2017) in Movies

Feb 13, 2018

Strangers thrown together must endure a gruelling and interminable ordeal - I'm not talking about Idris Elba and Kate Winslet, but cinema audiences who unsuspectingly sit down to watch The Mountain Between Us.

Reasonably competent, I suppose, as a piece of storytelling, but really, really dull and predictable - takes a while to get going, and then another while to conclude once the actual story is finished. Also contains the leading candidate for Worst Sex Scene of the year - although who knows, maybe frostbite, malnutrition and incipient gangrene is just the thing to get most people in the mood, I don't know (it's been a while). Not actively bad, just very undistinguished.

Introducing Kate Winslet!

Before Peter Jackson was instructing us on the ways of Bilbo and Gollum, he introduced us to Pauline and Juliet, two young girls who form an intense, provocative and somewhat delusional relationship.

They become fast friends and construct a fantasy world where both of them can live whilst they make some gruesome decisions about their own parents. Throughout the film you are unsure what you are viewing is real of part of the dream.

I loved this film for its portrayals of the young girls and the lengths they will go to remain together even after their volatile relationship is discovered.
