it is the rare 'crazy' movie that actually has something to say.

I wanted to like it more than I actually did... But much of the humor totally escaped me and I walked out only mildly impressed.

One of the best movies of the year! Incredible from the beginning to the end.

Just intense enough to provide a much-needed diversion, just lightweight enough to make you forget about it soon after it’s over. It’s not exactly “good,” per se, but it does what it sets out to do in terms of putting us on edge, which makes it … successful?

I loved the film and was shocked and moved by the superb ending. It is the kind of ending that makes you sit up and listen deeply rather than drift. I replayed the ending several times to capture the beautiful symphony of words, so beautifully crafted that the intensity of Michael's love cannot be denied.I particularly enjoy a film that does NOT have your typical mainstream actors, rather those who we hardly know. These are not "beautiful" people, but beautifully ordinary and perfectly paired for a memorable love story.Watch and enjoy.

Hmmmm.... So, u r here. I saw it when i was 16 and loved it and eroticism wasn't the only reason. Watched it again a while back. This is a type of movie which doesn't get balanced reviews, either v good ones or very bad ones.... because this is an extreme movie, in its own fashion.... A movie that has an essence to have cult following.... A movie that tries not to compromise artistic credibility in favour of a neat structured format and readily digestible endings.... It has passion, ebbs and flows, it waxes and wanes, its a singsong, and it leaves lose ends, coz life is that way too, always.... The movie uses juxtaposition, placing side by side, two so incredibly different people, and draws out something of a life force out of them....

When I caught this movie late night on a Wednesday I knew I wasn't in store for the best made film of all time, never the less I watched it until the end. The voice-overs were the largest point of contention for me, especially when they contained what was herald as "Poetry". They did nothing to forward the plot and did not give intelligence and charisma to the character of Michael. The other issue I had was the mini-flash back flash forward effect used in certain scenes. I saw these scene stutters as more annoying than artistic. The character was Michael was the most unrelatable, unbelievable character. I think he was suppose to be this perfect man that ever girl secretly wishes she had. Instead he comes off as completely unrealistic. He does no wrong, he's sensitive and patient. He has secret money and is wise beyond his years. He knows exactly what Sara wants and everyone loves him. I don't understand,he gives up writing because he can't deal with the fame? He never thought of using a pseudonym? He just gave up instead. I don't think the writer had this in mind but he seems to hide from situations he can't control. Sara is more rounded but still her character has zero depth( at least she had flaws). My thoughts were she is using Michael to slum it for awhile until figures out what she wants and then to get back at her husband. She's 28 (as stated in the film) which is like 40 in model years yet that is never explored. I also felt like the majority of camera angles and lighting were more flattering to Michael and left Sara looking odd and just awful in some scenes. This movie seemed more like a ego-centric glamour piece to it's seemingly narcissistic writer- producer-actor, than a movie about love and relationships. I didn't care about Michael and Sara and I don't believe much time and effort was put in to achieve that goal. The only characters I wanted to know more about were the Lesbian Dinner friends, sadly they were under-developed. I was really young in the 90's of maybe this was what was called "artistic," I just hope that it wasn't

Fall just goes to show that you can make a great movie, based on a story about emotions and dialog. You don't need the big name stars, special effects, stunts, and explosions. From a male perspective, I thought the movie was very believable. The movie was somewhat similar to my own life. These people that write reviews about hating the movie and how unbelievable it was, are obviously men that have never experienced that kind of passion and love. I can tell you without hurting my ego, that men involved with that kind of love and passion, do cry and do hug their pillow. I have dated models and do write poetry to, for, and about them. The average person holds this expectation of models and actresses that is unrealistic. They are normal people just like you and me. They just happen to look better. Most are really nice and sweet. It's amusing to read the reviews that say how unreal this movie is. If you feel that way so strongly, you have no passion and are most likely a miserable person to be around. This would be why you haven't experienced the love and passion expressed in Fall's story and it's words. It was a really good movie and I would recommend it to anyone.
