The Guardian
A genial, lightweight farce, which largely approximates Hornby's distinctively bittersweet tone.

Empire
Trivialising despair, it’s a depressing waste of a major cast, and an early bid for mess of the year.

At best, this is a cringey stab at black comedy redeemed by charismatic stars; at worst it’s a glib and manipulative punt on a subject that deserves more care.

The novel A Long Way Down is not-quite-vintage Nick Hornby. And this is a disappointing film version, a bit hokey and fake.

The Dissolve
The film wavers between the drippy and the glib from start to finish, sometimes within the course of a single scene.
