Not only is the acting and writing simply dreadful, A Long Way Down also seems awkwardly made, as it focuses on a group of four individuals who help each other relinquish their suicidal thoughts, resulting in a film which loses itself in its own complex web of intense emotions and themes. Despite it having a very short running time, the film is horribly paced and it drags on, while also failing miserably at creating the idea of the characters establishing genuine life-changing bonds. The main issue, however, is that the film struggles to cope with the highly complex emotional and existential themes it choses to tackle, as the relationships which are the vocal point of the film do not appear sincere, causing A Long Way Down to be unable to develop feelings of sentimentality and compassion in its audience.
