score 8/10
This movie was quite a surprise. Even the title. A mountain of "sugar", I thought. Must be a movie about drugs. Figures that they were talking about an actual, snow-covered mountain called Sugar. Well, it's white and you can get high up. Close enough.
Two teenagers have a cunning plan: Pretend that one of them gets lost in the mountain, start a rescrue mission and everything and then sell the story to the highest bidder. Easy plan, well organized. Almost no lose ends. Except for the fact that everything everyone ever said and did was a lie or false assumption.
Sugar mountain keeps surprising you with twists and turns, not all of them being plausible, but entertaining and interesting nonetheless. It ends kind of abruptly, leaving the final conclusion and decision to the viewer. So you find yourself thinking about it and about all the messed up stuff you learned about the motives and backgrounds.
The overall acting is good and there's even some character development as you see people grow or change through their experiences.
