  • Production[edit]

    After her critically acclaimed film, Sherpa,[3] producer Peedom resumes her work with American mountaineer and photographer Renan Ozturk. He is responsible for most of the images in the film. American actor Willem Dafoe narrates the film and reads passages from Robert Macfarlane's book "Mountains of the Mind".[1] The production company was Stranger Than Fiction.[4]

    Critical response[edit]

    On review aggregator Rotten Tomatoes, the film has an approval rating of 84% based on 68 reviews, with an average rating of 7.1/10. The website's critical consensus reads, "Mountain offers a visually thrilling – and surprisingly affecting – look at man's relationship with some of Earth's most imposing natural wonders."[5]OnMetacritic, the film has a weighted average score of 82 out of 100, based on 13 critics, indicating "universal acclaim".[6]

    Janine Israel from The Guardian gave the film four out of five stars and called it a "masterful documentary".[7] Gayle MacDonald from The Globe and Mail gave the film three out of four stars, praising the visual and musical feature of the film.[8] Harry Windsor from The Hollywood Reporter called it "one of the most visceral essay films ever made" thanks to the musical score and the non-traditional narrative approach, however, he criticised the length of the movie, defining it "slightly overextended".[1]

    Accolades[edit]

    At the 8th AACTA Awards, Mountain won three awards: "Best Cinematography in a Documentary" (Renan Ozturk), "Best Original Music Score in a Documentary" (Richard Tognetti), and "Best Sound in a Documentary" (David White and Robert Mackenzie).
