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. (South by Southwest Film Festival)

If you have a fear of flying, you will relate to this film and see yourself in its characters. A great deal of attention is given to their phobia. However, I found that I was rather baffled when I finished watching it. It’s been a long time since I’ve seen a film, let alone a comedy, in which I had so little understanding as to why the characters behave as they do in most of the scenes. And which, as a comedy, would be so brutally unfunny. Not even the instrumental music in it works and the selection of accompanying songs makes no sense.
