Abu - Assad talking about the film said that, `` I really did n't see an epic love story against the background of survival, I think optimism and hope is crucial to survive. And to go on with your life even if you 've had a lot of bad luck. So if you give ( in ) to the bad luck, you will die. ( But ) if you fight the bad luck, you have a better chance to survive and make your life better. This is very simple wisdom, yes ? But still very crucial especially in these kind of days, when everybody feels entitled to their good luck. '' Casting The film has gone through numerous casting change for the leads.

Critical response On Rotten Tomatoes, the film has an approval rating of 43 % based on 113 reviews, with an average rating of 5.2 / 10. The site 's critical consensus reads, `` The Mountain Between Us may be too far - fetched for some viewers to appreciate, but it 's elevated by reliably engaging performances from Idris Elba and Kate Winslet. '' On Metacritic, the film has a weighted average score of 48 out of 100, based on 35 critics, indicating `` mixed or average reviews ''. Audiences polled by CinemaScore gave the film an average grade of `` A − '' on an A+ to F scale. Jordan Mintzer of The Hollywood Reporter described the film as `` an easily digestible love story - come - survival tale that tosses two excellent actors in the snow and lets them do their thing '' before concluding that `` but what really helps Mountain overcome its far - fetched scenario is the pairing of Winslet and Elba, who know how to turn up the charm tenfold yet make Alex and Ben seem ( mostly ) like real people. '' Tim Grierson of ScreenDaily noted that the film `` struggles to balance its life - or - death stakes with its far more florid love story '' but added that `` the considerable chemistry between Kate Winslet and Idris Elba certainly helps sell this tearjerker. '' In his review for Variety, Peter Debruge described it as `` a movie in which neither the subzero temperature nor the romantic heat penetrates more than skin deep. '' Also criticising the film, Steve Pond of TheWrap found it unnecessarily lengthy and said that `` a love story cheapens the grand survival story. '' Ignatiy Vishnevetsky of The A.V. Club criticized the central characters as `` a couple of one - note personality - test types '' with `` zero romantic chemistry '' and wrote that the script `` actually tones down the howling outrageousness of Martin 's novel, which seems to miss the point. But, structurally, it 's the same junk. Problems pop out of nowhere and resolve themselves, while torturous motivations attempt to explain why characters would withhold basic information from one another for weeks... '' Differences Between novel and film Winslet 's character 's name was changed from Ashley Knox to Alex Martin and Elba 's character 's surname from Payne to Bass in the film version.
