“WELL WORTH THE CINEMATIC RIDE. There is a whole lot of warmth and heart to this charmingly played film. It defies expectations and delivers an impressively life-affirming message.” Mark Adams, Screen Daily

Based on the acclaimed novel by Nick Hornby (author of High Fidelity, About A Boy), A LONG WAY DOWN tells the story of four lost souls – a disgraced TV presenter, a foul-mouthed teen, an isolated single mother and a solipsistic muso – who decide to end their lives on the same night, New Year’s Eve. When this disillusioned quartet of strangers meet unintentionally at the same suicide hotspot, a London high-rise with the well-earned nickname Topper’s Tower, they mutually agree to call off their plans for six weeks, forming an unconventional, dysfunctional family, becoming media sensations as the Topper House Four and searching together for the reasons to keep on living.
