Downhill

Downhill (2020) is an American comedy-drama you can watch online on iFILM, directed by Nat Faxon and Jim Rash. It's a remake of the Swedish film Force Majeure, transplanted to the Austrian Alps and cast with Julia Louis-Dreyfus and Will Ferrell as a couple whose marriage quietly falls apart over a long ski weekend.

The inciting event is small and fast: a controlled avalanche at a mountain restaurant sends a wall of snow rushing toward the terrace. No one is hurt. But Pete grabbed his phone and ran — leaving his wife Billie and their two sons sitting there. What follows is five days of awkward dinners, forced cheerfulness, and a truth neither of them wants to name. Ferrell plays Pete's self-justification with an almost impressive lack of self-awareness, while Louis-Dreyfus anchors the film's sharper emotional register. It's funnier and more uncomfortable than a straight disaster movie, which is pretty much the point. Stream Downhill (2020) online on iFILM.
