An anthology feature film exploring contemporary Black existence through the Pan-African flag: A collegiate football star scrambles to save his career after a devastating injury fractures his sense of self-worth; a Ghanaian single mother loses her job and faces deportation as an unlikely group of heroes rally around her; the lead of a struggling Black sitcom questions the cost of success as the network forces the show into racist caricature to boost ratings.

This anti-love young adult movie includes mature topics and dialogue.
What can I say about this Will Ferrell/Julia Louis-Dreyfus-led “dramedy?” Well, the comedy part of Downhill is completely non-existent. And I should have known that the film was a flop when I walked into an empty theater at a prime time on a Friday night.
