Lidia Draper Great example of an old-fashioned, pure-at-heart escapist event movie that doesn't pretend to be anything that it's not and has boat loads of fun being its own ludicrous self.

Sameeha Pugh It is encouraging that the film ends so strongly.Otherwise, it wouldn't have been a particularly memorable film

Ella-May O'Brien Each character in this movie — down to the smallest one — is an individual rather than a type, prone to spontaneous changes of mood and sometimes amusing outbursts of pettiness or ill humor.

Yazmin Close shines in drama with strong language, adult themes.

bkoganbing One thing I learned in watching The Mountain Of The Lord is that Joseph Smith among other things told his flock to be "a record keeping people". I suppose that's one of the reasons that there so many films done by or with the cooperation of the Church of Jesus Christ Of Latter Day Saints about their church history. Obeying Smith's commandment they've got quite a store of archival material to work with.When you go to Salt Lake City as I did several years ago the center of the town is the structure that this film is about. From the time that Brigham Young gave the word we're building our spiritual headquarters in Salt Lake City it took 40 years to complete the work. The story is told in flashback by the LDS Church's Fourth President Wilford Woodruff who was in on it from the beginning as he's being interviewed by a New York City newspaper reporter.As per a lot of the Mormon historical films I've seen there is a great eye for historical detail and in the end the location looks about as I would have imagined Salt Lake City to be. The Mountain Of The Lord is a well constructed film, but probably only for LDS audiences.

conbhaill A very moving account of the travails of early Mormons to build a Temple to God in Salt Lake City. The well cast actors who played familiar early Mormon leaders really brought to life the pain and suffering which was endured in the pioneer's search for a better life and a better way of living.One of my favourite films, I've viewed it numerous times (more than 30 times) and oft times wish I could enter the Temple alongside Wilfred Woodruff when he pauses on the steps of the Temple to bid the reporter farewell.Only one part of the film grated slightly with me, being the dreadful Scots accent of the quarrier.
