The Fall

This film is amazing, it took three years to shoot and doesn't conform to the hollywood stereotype. Using no cgi, this film sweeps of your feet with stunning visuals and an intriguing storyline.
One of the "cooler" films of 2008.

I love this film with its gritty yet magical story of an injured stunt man and a little girl.
It is a film of longing and need which is eventually fulfilled but not without magic, mysticism and tragedy. Words cannot describe the breath taking scenery. It made me want to travel the world to visit the locations used. The stunts are phenomenal and the lack of C.G.I. makes it even more astounding.
My only regret is that I have never seen it on the big screen.
My advice to someone who has never seen it? Suspend reality, watch with open heart and mind and let yourself slide into a gritty yet wonderful, fantastical yet real film.

An astounding movie, beautifully created, suberbly written & excellently acted by all. Possibally the sweetest child ever to be on film, funny with a great story of heartache & adventure.
Set aside your money to buy it & a rainy day to watch it

This fantasy film is absolutely extraordinary. The cinematography is out of this world, honestly even if you only watch it purely for the scenery - it's like watching art.
Each screen shot of the fantasy adventure (the story told by Lee Pace's character) is magnificent. Add to the beauty of the film the superb acting of Lee Pace and Catinca Untaru who is the real gem of the whole film - being able to hold her own and steal every scene she's in. She is delightful. The film is exquisite.

If you have not seen, or in fact, heard, of this movie, let me be the first to tell you about it.

This was and is the sort of experience that first enraptured and astounded me as regards to the movies. A story told in such a way as to become a part of your awareness, a gentle reminder of the fantastic, mythical and magical components of what is best in humanity whilst not forgetting what it means to be human.

Breathtaking does not even begin to describe the cinematography. The colors, the framing, costumes, lighting, and the backdrops are gorgeous; like something out of a dream. If this was just a visually moving film, that would be enough but there is so much more.

Tarsem Singh's direction is possessed. He manages to capture a kaleidoscope of emotion as diverse and generous as the tones and colors that deliver this movable feast for the eyes. His motley casting of relatively unknown actors is inspiring and refreshing.

The acting is extraordinary. Both poignant and comical, this journey of heartbreak and revenge, of discovery and friendship is conveyed with joy, witticism, curiosity and a vulnerability that is so rare in life, never mind in movies, it left me humbled. Especially the young Romanian girl, Catinca Untaru, who, not only made her big screen debut in this movie but is the heart and soul of the film in a breakthrough performance that I am sure will garner rave reviews.

It is my sincerest hope that you find this movie as emotive, tender and touching as I.
