This slice-of-life story is a testament to the power of cinema itself.
This review was written during the 2023 WGA and SAG-AFTRA strikes. Without the labor of the writers and actors currently on strike, the film being covered here wouldn't exist.One of the most powerful feelings that a movie can cause in viewers is the sensation of coming out of a screening with a complete understanding of who the characters are, their struggles, and why you should care about them.
With a careful and delicate approach to the story, Sorelle lets you immerse yourself in Mountains by barely moving the camera and avoiding jump cuts in family moments, which invites you in for both uncomfortable and tender moments. At the same time, Sorelle manages to convey the boredom of a routine, especially when it comes to Xavier's.
At the same time, Mountains is also able to give us a nuanced view of Junior. Fully aware that he is a huge disappointment to his family, the young man uses comedy to vent – and this ends up treating viewers to an excellent stand-up comedy routine in which Junior blabs about his insecurities. Junior’s stand-up is a peak moment for Mountains, not only because it’s funny, but also because the movie takes the time to show us Junior’s relationship with his parents prior to his set.
A house is just a house, and Mountains makes it absolutely clear that bricks and wood can be destroyed in the blink of an eye. Why are we always in pursuit of more things when what we have is perfectly acceptable? The movie doesn’t romanticize poverty or conformism, it’s important to say. But it makes a pretty clear distinction between what you should be working toward and what actually matters.
