Downhill | Full Movie | Movies Anywhere

In the end, the film never lands on a tone that works. Instead, the film plays it safe and broad, a stark contrast to the original’s subtle, dark humor. That’s not to say “Downhill” is a bad film, but it’s not really good either.

Instead of awkwardly funny, Downhill is just awkward. A remake that gets lost in translation, and one to add to the large pile of Hollywoods failed attempts to improve on foreign masterpieces.

Whereas Force Majeure wanted its audience to observe human behavior and judge the complex situation for themselves, Downhill presents every emotion and situation with dull, unmistakable clarity.

The film really rather soars like an eagle whenever it trains its focus down on Billie's building despair, with Julia Louis-Dreyfus proving herself more than a match for the serious drama

People who have seen the original film will appreciate that film more than the remake... for me, I enjoyed it.
