  • Logged this and Force Majeure back to back because I watched them back to back, meaning this review will be seen more than my review for FM. I spent a really long time writing up an in-depth analysis of Force Majeure so I'm gonna use this review to redirect your attention…

    At the Golden Globes this year, director Bong Joon-Ho already gave the only review of this film that is necessary: "Once you overcome the 1-inch-tall barrier of subtitles, you will be introduced to so many more amazing films.” Downhill is a totally inoffensive remake…

    Most disappointing of the year. Watch Force Majeure on Hulu.

    Not funny enough to be a comedy, not tense or observant to be a drama, but good enough for a streaming service1

    Thought provoking. Dark. Not what we expected from Will Farrel and Julia LD.

    If you're expecting a Will Farrell comedy, look somewhere else!

    It's a movie that is neither funny enough nor dark enough so it ends up just being a depressing hour and a half of a marriage falling apart with no payoff. The ending was so unsatisfying I wonder how they decided that it was ok to leave it like that

    It’s more of a dramedy than a comedy and that’s ok. Solid performances from both leads.

In Downhill, everything is played for blunt laughs. Ferrell and Louis-Dreyfus — both gifted performers who have done much better work elsewhere — muddle through, recognizing that they’re making a movie about Trust with a capital T, but failing to get at any real darkness that might lurk beneath the movie’s shiny, slippery surface.

In Downhill, it disintegrates because both parties turn out to be such unsalvageable bores — a misfire, in a feature-length movie, that is worse than stale popcorn.

Despite the invaluable comedic/dramatic gifts of Julia Louis-Dreyfus and Will Ferrell, who do their best to inject some life and energy into the proceedings, Downhill is a pale, tame, broad and soft-edged remake of the far superior 2014 Swedish film “Force Majeure.”
