What to Know

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.

Wenlei Ma News.com.au Downhill is best watched without having seen Force Majeure because the comparisons are so unflattering. Rated: 2.5/5 Apr 6, 2020 Full Review David Stratton The Australian Downhill is a good example of a well-regarded foreign language film that translates badly as an American remake. Rated: 2.5/5 Mar 6, 2020 Full Review Kathleen Sachs Chicago Reader The film oversimplifies the complexities of the original, however contrived they might have been, and generally lacks Östlund's subtlety and plaintiveness. Mar 6, 2020 Full Review Dave Giannini InSession Film We would all be much better off if the remake never happened and, as always, Julia Louis-Dreyfus deserves so much better. Rated: D Feb 20, 2024 Full Review Paul Kanieski KSQD Community Radio 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. Jul 20, 2023 Full Review Brian Susbielles InSession Film 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...

Eric Very slow beginning. And the entire premise as to why the wife/mother was so upset was a bit overwrought. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 03/20/20 Full Review First L Very slow. Blah ending. I expected more out of this movie. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 03/17/20 Full Review Charles Worse movie ever . The message was terrible and twisted . Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 03/13/20 Full Review Minnie It wasn't as funny as the other movies Will Ferrell has done in the past. Felt like a pretty somber movie Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 03/09/20 Full Review William A 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. Rated 1 out of 5 stars 03/06/20 Full Review Greg L Terrible not comedy at all. Will Ferrell = comedy..........not in this movie Rated 1 out of 5 stars 03/05/20 Full Review Read all reviews
