Watch The Fall For Free

Ok... Let's be honest. It cannot be the best movie but is quite enjoyable. The movie has the potential to develop a great plot for future movies

Let me be very fair here, this is not the best movie in my opinion. But, this movie is fun, it has purpose and is very enjoyable to watch.

Through painfully honest and emotional moments, the movie becomes irresistibly relatable

This film is so real. It treats its characters with so much care and sensitivity.

The Fall is simply stunning! The visuals are amazingly beautiful, the story is compelling and the acting is superb. Lee Pace proves he's more than the Piemaker from Pushing Daisies and Catinca Untaru is so refreshing and real. It may be a bit artsy for some, but I feel that this film deserves much more praise and publicity!

Visually Tarsem Singh's "The Fall" is one of the most beautiful films ever made. The credit sequence, shot in slow motion and in black and white, is breathtaking and when it goes into full colour it is never less than gorgeous. It's a kind of Arabian Nights phantasia as Lee Pace's hospital patient, (he's an injured stuntman with suicidal tendencies), tells a series of tall tales to a another patient, a little girl with a broken arm, (an enchanting Catinca Untaru), The problem is the stories are too 'adult' for children, as are the sequences set in the hospital, and too inconsequential for an adult audience. However, imagery this beautiful is rare, (Singh shot the film in a number of world-wide locations), and if there isn't much here to tax the brain, the eye is constantly dazzled. Unfortuantely, in this case, that really isn't enough.

This film is art. It's an ode to storytelling and to film making, doing justice to both forms by intertwining them seamlessly. The acting is outstanding, as is the plot.

At the core of the film, there's an interesting story; an interesting accidental relationship between two characters who form an unlikely union, as the forces of mutually beneficial destiny form one of the main themes.The problem isn't the story, and the symbols there...it's just the film is missing the key components that usually make this sort of film emotionally engaging, where the ending is a climax. Here, the ending is a bit confusing if anything, and poor on the emotional level. There just isn't any tension at any moment, or any redeeming quality to the last minutes.Perhaps the film should've focused less on certain elements of the plot, developed other scenes more...there's like an imbalance about it, like some areas feel unfinished, others too exposed...Should be said the lead character is good looking, and a fine actor but a bit too precious... and the little Romanian girl is incredibly natural and the film captures her spontaneity amazingly well, with her broken English and so on.Interesting, but flawed.
