Downhill (I) (2020)
6/10
Downhill - Strained family dynamics while on holiday
3 March 2020
Drama with comedy moments.

Remake of a recent foreign language movie Force Majeure (which I haven't seen) - The family suffers a near miss disaster whilst on a skiing holiday during a controlled avalanche. A wall of snow threatens the family, the father character jumps up, grabs his phone and runs leaving the rest of his family behind. He fails to protect his family, later his cowardly behaviour makes him contemplate his decision and actions, and his relationship with his wife is severely tested.

This is more than a comedy, it's emotional in places, and the whole family dynamics are tested and strained. I laughed in a few places and I quite enjoyed.
