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

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

Looked like from the previews that it was going to be a decent comedy. The preview was the best part. Only slightly funny during a few scenes. Very disappointing given the great cast.

This is not a comedy. It's a slow observational drama. Low ratings and bad reviews are not deserved (probably, people are expecting Will Farrell's comedic typecasting and come away disappointed.)

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.”
