The Falling

This is not a commercial film. It is a concept film, the parents are but one, both writer and director. There is no room for any other. The cadence is that of a lover calling out to its self. Borne, alone, by the talents of exceptional actors. But its private world is inhospitable to the onlooker. The pace is excruciatingly slow and self absorbed, the hope is that the audience will be lulled into the same reverie of the lover. But many will be alienated in the process. I was one who stayed to the end just out of curiousity but, beyond exceptional performances, I found little there to justify the observation. I was not bewitched. In short, it is pretentious, much like this review. I give the film a 6 (self-absorbed) out of 10. [Drama, Mystery]

The only thing that makes sense about this movie is how in love everyone is with Florence Pugh.

Looks good but beyond that complete nonsens. Don't waste your time.

The Falling

One of the worst movies I've ever seen despite having two actresses I absolutely love, Maisie Williams and Florence Pugh.

A movie that doesn't make a lick of sense, that doesn't explain anything that's going on.

It can be summed up in random fainting spells and the principal getting pissed off. That's it, there are no developments other than some bullshit here and there.

It also doesn't explain if they're pretending to faint because Maisie's character wants to get her attention to the point of getting of the popularity of her best friend played by Florence, or there's really some mysterious force, spirit or whatever it is that makes people faint randomly and without a criteria.

The director, cast and writers probably didn't know how to explain those fainting spells either.
