DOWNHILL
Director: Nat Faxon, Jim Rash
Starring: Julia Louis-Dreyfus, Will Ferrell, Miranda Otto, Zach Woods, Julian Grey, Ammon Jacob Ford, Zoe Chao
Downhill premiered recently at the Sundance Film Festival and is now in wide release. It stars Julia Louis-Dreyfus and Will Ferrell as Billie and Pete who take their two sons on a family skiing trip in the Alps. They appear to be booked at the wrong resort as theirs isn’t as family-friendly as they thought. They agree to stay there and should be having a great time but an avalanche nearly destroys their trip and the aftermath forces them to re-evaluate what matters most in life. The film is an American remake of the 2014 Swedish film Force Majeure.
