Zwischen zwei Leben

There are films that I only watch because of the actors. Kate Winslet is always a reason for me, and Idris Elba can't do any harm either. Both of them have the ability to act very relaxed, there is never anything tense or over the top - good British acting, in other words. The story is that of a struggle for survival, but never deviates from keeping the focus on both actors. It is told in a relaxed way, has some exciting moments, but actually you ask yourself all the time whether the two get each other or not. In the end it is a romantic story with a light humour, which is mainly thanks to Winslet's laconic style. Entertaining, and very welcome in the dark times of November 2020

I'm surprised at the negative reviews for this movie because I really enjoyed it. The shock and the struggle they endured looked real! They carried the audience with them through the horrible conditions, as well as, the fear of not knowing if they would make it. I was on the edge of my seat not knowing if they will make it or not! Knowing that sometimes movies kill the stars off made it more suspenseful to me! The main problem I had was it took too long. How long were they gonna go through the snow trying to live?! Man! Hurry up already! The actors are some of my favs so I forgave them for being such good actors that they made mountain snowdrifts cool! LOL!

Forget the movie and read the book. They took everything great about the book, changed it and in the process lessened the story in almost every way. It feels like they are in such a hurry to get to the action that they gloss over the beginning. Then they proceed to take every character and give them baggage instead of just letting them be good people. Sad.

I quite enjoyed this, it was pretty slow paced but absorbing none the less, the main leads of Kate Winslet and Idris Elba were well matched , I had the feeling that the two of them would reunite at the end of the film and it proved to be the case.

I'm very surprised at the reasonably low rating of this movie. For me it was very enjoyable and engaging. You really get involved with the 2 characters story and spend the whole film really wondering if they will survive the plane disaster and circumstances they've found themselves in.

Great acting and chemistry between Idris Elba & Kate Winslet and many "goosepimple" moments.

A movie definitely worth watching!
