Downhill

Cast: Will Ferrell, Julia Louis-Dreyfus, Miranda Otto

If you’re a couple watching this movie together be prepared for the antiromance rom-com of the year.

While on a lavish skiing holiday with their two children, married couple Pete ( Will Ferrell) and Billie (Julia Louis-Dreyfus) are put to the test by an avalanche from which Pete flees and abandons his wife and kids.

This act of moral cowardice sets in motion a blisteringly funny account of a marriage in all of its brutal awkwardness.

You’ll hopefully laugh, but you may also cry if you recognise something a little bit too familiar in the way this married couple find new and unattractive personality traits in each other.
