A Long Way Down

2014 · 1h 36m · Comedy, Drama

IMDb 6.3 Metacritic 34 RT 22%

Skip it. Despite a genuinely intriguing premise about four suicidal strangers bonding, the execution is a sloppy mess—the critics agree across the board, and a 22% RT score isn't a fluke. Life's too short to spend two hours watching a tonally confused film that can't decide if it's darkly funny or genuinely moving.

Plot

Four lost souls—a disgraced TV presenter, a foul-mouthed teen, an isolated single mother, and a failed musician—decide to end their lives on the same night, New Year's Eve. When this disillusioned quartet of strangers meet unintentionally at the same suicide hotspot, a London high-rise with the well-earned nickname Topper's Tower, they mutually agree to call off their plans for six weeks, forming an unconventional, dysfunctional family. They become media sensations as the Topper House Four and search together for reasons to keep on living.
