Review of A Long Way Down (2014) by Syed R — 16 Sep 2014

This movie is nothing deep nor depressing, so don't fear the subject of suicidal people being it's focus. It's a delightful (yet not probable) story of four lost people that think they have reached the end of their coping abilities with life challenges.

After they discover one another a whole new meaning in their humdrum lives opens and the pleasures and conflicts of living start anew. Pascal Chaumeil smartly divides the story into four parts to offer the viewer an insight into each of the four main characters lives. And we see things are never as bad as each of the four imagine. Maybe Maureen's story presents the greatest challenge but she needed this path to discover how much she actually cared about her son.

I suggest to anyone that wants a story that is not a love story or an action flick, to grab this movie and enjoy!
