Based on the novel by Nick Hornby, A Long Way Down (starring Pierce Brosnan, Toni Collette, Imogen Poots and Aaron Paul) tells the story of four strangers who meet each other one New Year's Eve while attempting to commit suicide and decide to form a pact which will keep them all alive for the next six weeks, until Valentine's Day.Martin (Brosnan) is a disgraced ex-TV personality, Maureen (Colette) is a single mother caring for a severely disabled son, Jess (Poots) is the rebellious youngest daughter of a politician whose elder sister disappeared two years ago, and JJ (Paul) is an ex-musician who now works as a pizza deliverer. The four of them end up on the same rooftop - each with individual plans to jump off - and, after an initially rocky introduction, develop a close friendship with each other, as well as becoming media sensations thanks to Martin and Jess's already high public profile. During the six weeks between the night they meet and the day their pact for staying alive runs out, they slowly come to learn about each other's lives, personal struggles and what drove them to that rooftop in the first place.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); }) | |

Black Comedy: This movie features a ton of it. The sequence where the four initially meet is about 10 minutes of this non-stop. | |

Bitch in Sheep's Clothing | |
| A Long Way Down / int_2764d432 | comment |
Bitch in Sheep's Clothing: Martin's ex-co-host, Penny. While it's understandable wanting to take Martin down a peg or two, there really is no excuse for her pushing Jess on the issue of her sister's disappearance, especially when it's blatantly obvious how distressed Jess is becoming by it. Jess likes to pretend she's this, though it gradually becomes clear it's something of a defence mechanism. | |

Attention Whore | |
| A Long Way Down / int_31df118 | comment |
Attention Whore: Martin certainly likes to present himself as being this. He spends most of his time espousing the virtues of being famous, at one point even seeming to have trouble deciding between wanting fame or his own children. | |

Actor Allusion | |
| A Long Way Down / int_392372f9 | comment |
Actor Allusion: JJ (played by Aaron Paul) tells the others that his reason for attempting suicide was learning that he had inoperable terminal cancer. It ultimately turns out he was lying about that though. | |

Bookends: The movie begins on New Year's Eve just before midnight and ends exactly one year later.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); }) | |

| A Long Way Down / int_bc74ef27 | comment |
Berserk Button: If you keep asking someone about their recently-disappeared sister, even when they ask you to stop, you can't really blame them for calling you a bitch on live TV... Martin also has one that appears to be anyone claiming to feel as humiliated as he does. | |
