5/10
Very good and uplifting
17 October 2014
-A Long Way Down is a 2014 film that you probably haven't heard of. It's about four people who hate their lives, accidentally run into each other on the same rooftop on New Year's during their suicide attempts, and end up becoming good friends who make a pact not to kill themselves until Valentine's Day.

-As relatively unknown films go, this was one of my favorite! -I love the story and thing the themes of friendship and life vs death are outstanding. The tone is uplifting and the film is well paces, telling each of the 4 characters' stories while keeping the story in order.

-The acting is really good. Pierce Brosnan, Toni Collesse, and Imogen Poots all do a great job, but Aaron Paul steals the show! -The music is good. Not great. Also editing and stuff don't really matter in this type of film, because it's about character and hope! -So I won't spoil anything, but it's a very positive film with some great themes about redemption. It does have a focus on suicide, but also the importance of having friends and overcoming giants in your life.

-Content was not too bad. It is rated-R. It has some language, but it's not too bad. Also a butt.

-So A Long Way Down is a fun film with an uplifting theme, and good characters. I would say if you have the chance to see it, it is worth it! Easily an 8/10!
