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.

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

Downhill is a good example of a well-regarded foreign language film that translates badly as an American remake. Go to Full Review
Kathleen Sachs Chicago Reader 03/06/2020
The film oversimplifies the complexities of the original, however contrived they might have been, and generally lacks Östlund's subtlety and plaintiveness. Go to Full Review

We would all be much better off if the remake never happened and, as always, Julia Louis-Dreyfus deserves so much better. Go to Full Review
Paul Kanieski KSQD Community Radio 07/20/2023
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. Go to Full Review
Brian Susbielles InSession Film 03/06/2023
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... Go to Full Review

Eric 03/20/2020 Very slow beginning. And the entire premise as to why the wife/mother was so upset was a bit overwrought. See more First L 03/17/2020 Very slow. Blah ending. I expected more out of this movie. See more Charles 03/13/2020 Worse movie ever . The message was terrible and twisted . See more Minnie 03/09/2020 It wasn't as funny as the other movies Will Ferrell has done in the past. Felt like a pretty somber movie See more William A 03/06/2020 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. See more Greg L 03/05/2020 Terrible not comedy at all. Will Ferrell = comedy..........not in this movie See more Read all reviews
