Synopsis
A special forces veteran, an uptight property developer, an influencer with half a million followers and an incompetent instructor are thrown together on a high-end fear of flying course. The course's final challenge is an experience flight from London to Iceland, which ends up being a horrendous ordeal. Lost in Iceland, freezing and terrified, they must find a way of facing their fears and working together to spread their wings... and fly.

“Mom, can we have Ruben Östlund?”

Review by Sergio Muñoz Esquer ★★★
Great and simple concept for a film with a lack of depth. I loved the first act, but the more the film went on, the less I understood what it was trying to do. Timothy Spall is the MVP as always.

Review by gregs1999 ★★
Timothy Spall is the only redeeming quality about this film. Who wants to watch people get over a fear of flying? Cardboard characters and horrible script.

Ella Rumpf's survival skills would have kicked in if their plane had crashed and she would have eaten everyone on the flight regardless if they were dead or alive

A genuinely remarkable movie. Seriously, some films you forget after watching. I was literally forgetting this whilst watching.

Review by EJ Paras ★★★½
“Just let go.”
What a quirky premise that is fodder for existential conversations and darkly funny jokes about imminent death. It was pretty cool being at this film’s World Premiere at SXSW, and I’d be hard-pressed not to be thinking about it, at least subconsciously, when flying back home to New Jersey.
It’s about a group of scared flyers; this ragtag group joins “Fearless Flyers” in order to conquer their fear of their lack of control.
It had a Triangle of Sadness vibe to it, how these folks are somewhat upper-class but still wary of the (lack) of control they have in their lives. Loved the lead performance from Lydia Leonard. Very easy to empathize with, and I love her…

Review by Leonardo ½
In all honesty: I fell asleep watching this. Not my cup of tea. I know it'll have a home with people. Its humor will make some of y'all laugh, as it did with some viewers. Respect for anyone who touched this movie, as you can see the effort.
