Critics Consensus

Fittingly named for a remake whose charms are dwarfed by its superior source material, Downhill is frequently -- and frustratingly -- less than the sum of its talented parts.

Downhill is best watched without having seen Force Majeure because the comparisons are so unflattering.

Rated: 2.5/5

Downhill is a good example of a well-regarded foreign language film that translates badly as an American remake.

Rated: 2.5/5

Chicago Reader

The film oversimplifies the complexities of the original, however contrived they might have been, and generally lacks Östlund's subtlety and plaintiveness.

We would all be much better off if the remake never happened and, as always, Julia Louis-Dreyfus deserves so much better.

Will Ferrell acts like Will Ferrell, only less so; he’s not particularly funny, and his glum one-note portrayal goes well past the point of tedium. Those expecting a typical Will Ferrell comedy might want to recalibrate their expectations accordingly.

This is the worst film of 2020 because the film was painfully unfunny, which is made more painful because it featured Will Farrell and Julia Louis-Dreyfus...

Very slow beginning. And the entire premise as to why the wife/mother was so upset was a bit overwrought.

It wasn't as funny as the other movies Will Ferrell has done in the past. Felt like a pretty somber movie

Horrible. If I could vote lower than one I would. Who wants to see two A class comedians scream at each other in a failed marriage. Walked out.
