I haven't read the book but based on the movie alone I must say the characters and storyline didn't engage me at all. The movie doesn't do much to make the audience get involved in the characters' psyche nor does it attempt to make you interested through the plot. You basically listen to the narrator explaining (with little success) how the author sees things topped by sparsely distributed conversation between the two main characters. On the plus side, the scenery was visually appealing but I must say there are tons of such clips available on the internet these days, you don't need to go to a movie to see that. The Eight Mountains was a disappointment.
