And the more I see it the more I really hate this haircut. It does look better from a distance. Which brings to mind this exchange from Tootsie: Rita: I'd like to make her look a little more attractive, how far can you pull back? Cameraman: How do you feel about Cleveland?

SCREENDAILYA Long Way Down 10 February, 2014 | By Mark Adams, chief film critic
For a film about suicide, there is a whole lot of warmth and heart to Pascal Chaumeil’s comedy-drama A Long Way Down, a charmingly played film about how life can offer up a second chance at the most unlikely of moments and how unexpected friendships can offer fresh perspectives. The film offers engagingly complex roles for Pierce Brosnan, Toni Collette, Imogen Poots and Aaron Paul, and while a tough sell to audiences (suicide comedy anyone?) it is well worth the cinematic ride. Thoughtfully directed by Pascal Chaumeil, it is a film that defies expectations and delivers an impressively life-affirming message. Adapted from Nick Hornby’s best-selling novel, which may help marketing profile, the film has is nicely structured as it tackles the doom-and-gloom surrounding its four lead characters, delivering a subtle blend of genres as its tragic and comic aspects combine as some of the big issues of life are played out by the characters. Quite how the four deeply dysfunctional individuals become the most unlikely of support groups is the rather tender core of A Long Way Down. The film opens with disgraced television presenter – fresh from seeing his life fall apart after he had sex with a girl a few months shy of her 16th birthday (“she looked 25 to me” he insists) – Martin Sharp (Brosnan) strapping a ladder to the roof of his car on New Year’s Eve and heading to Toppers Tower, an anonymous London office block notorious as a suicide hotspot. The ladder – which he has to walk up to the roof – is to lay across three feet of barb-wire netting around the outside of the roof. He lights a cigar and heads to the edge of the ladder. But his plans to jump are hampered by the arrival of three other people, all with similar plans and all keen to use his ladder. The new arrivals are Maureen (Collette), a housewife on the verge of a breakdown after years of taking care of her severely disabled son; failed rock musician cum pizza delivery boy JJ (Paul, from Breaking Bad), and, youngest of them all, lovesick but rebellious Jess (rising Brit star Poots). Against all logic they end up telling each other their stories and grudgingly help one-another, finally making a pact not to kill themselves before Valentine’s Day – giving them six weeks keep on staying alive. Sadly their story makes the press, though their desire to stay bonded isn’t helped by Jess’s story that up on the roof a naked angel that looked just like Matt Damon had decreed “thou shalt not die tonight” and stopped them from jumping. To escape attention the four take a trip to Spain, and gradually get to know each other better though it all ends badly when it is revealed that JJ’s reason for wanting to kill himself are more deep-rooted than he first explained to them. It is a bold story about fractured individuals, with suicide and depression the unlikely subjects for dark comedy. It us a bold choice for Brosnan to play a self-pitying paedophile, and while he is the ‘star’ here the film is very much a four-hander, with each performer delivering intelligently nuanced performances. Thoughtfully directed by Pascal Chaumeil, it is a film that defies expectations and delivers an impressively life-affirming message. GUARDIAN: A Long Way Down: Berlin 2014 – first look reviewNick Hornby's bittersweet four-hander about four would-be suicides is recalibrated into a genial, lightweight farce, with a perfectly cast Pierce Brosnan3 out of 5 Andrew Pulver Nick Hornby's 2005 novel about four would-be suicides has become an amiable, undemanding comedy that is unlikely, it is fair to say, to repeat the success of An Education, the last film he found himself involved in. That film, scripted by Hornby but adapted from Lynn Barber's memoir, was bolstered by a career-making performance from Carey Mulligan; A Long Way Down, by contrast, shares the acting duties equally between the four leads. Pierce Brosnan, adopting a dubious mockney accent, plays disgraced TV presenter Martin Sharp, who has toiled to the top of a rundown tower block to end it all on New Year's Eve. He is interrupted by, in turn, mousy single mother Maureen (Toni Collette), who is overwhelmed by caring for her disabled son; mouthy teenager Jess (Imogen Poots), smarting from rejection; and wannabe rocker JJ (Breaking Bad's Aaron Paul), who is reduced to delivering pizzas. The pact that the four make, designed to help them claw their way back from their individual miseries, provides the meat of the subsequent narrative. Hornby's novel told its story by giving each character a few pages at a time; this film keeps the same device, more or less, by allowing them each a voiceover from time to time, and sizeable introductory scenes. But there has been a sizeable recalibration of the original story, to allow for more group set-pieces: the Tenerife holiday, for example, is only a few pages in the book, but here appears to occupy an event-filled third of the running time. Inevitably, a good deal of the novel's intricacies have been ironed out too, though with Hornby on board as executive producer this must have been sanctioned on some level. What emerges, as orchestrated by French director Pascal Chaumeil, is a genial, lightweight farce, which largely approximates Hornby's distinctively bittersweet tone. Poots, arguably, offers the most eye-catching performance – it's the loudest, anyhow – while Brosnan is inspired casting as the blow-dried preener Sharp. Hornby fans may feel there's been too much monkeying around in the headlong rush for a neat ending; it's hard to see how else it could have been done.
