Going Down is a 1982 Australian film about young people living in a share house.

[2] The film's one-liner reads: "Four women friends leave behind the feral days of youth after a night of uncontrolled excess in inner-city Sydney during the early 1980s.

"[3] The film was self-distributed and ran for 14 weeks in Sydney but performed poorly in Melbourne.

[5] "One of the first films to show the world the true gritty underside of Australian life, Going Down has become a cult classic for its realistic depiction of Sydney in the 1980s, a portrayal decidedly at odds with the sun, surf, sand and barbies of Australia's tourism campaigns."

- Melbourne International Film Festival 2009 [6] In the Sydney Morning Herald in 2011 Mark Swayer wrote "no film I've seen has better captured the chaotic heartbeat of the young sensation-seeker's Sydney.
