Fantastic!

Beautiful, moving film.

The film was still a fun one that will make you laugh and have you leaving the theater feeling like you just stole something valuable and got away with it.

Close shines in drama with strong language, adult themes.

If you are into complete 100% realism, then you would have a bone to pick with this film. I mean true love... if you believe in love at first sight; you could probably believe that two strangers chance meeting could be the beginning of something beautiful. Or if hardened by cynicism, you'd probably say, nay it'd never happen it's just boredom in life's routine.Meryl Streep, to me mainly, has done her part on this film. She is not only natural and luminous, but you even don't think that she's acting! She's lived this whole life through! The way she's hesitating whether she should stop the affair with a married man (De Niro) or just let it all be. The way she struggles herself and this new feeling that doesn't allow her to lead her normal life anymore is believable as well. You won't doubt a minute that she's feeling all this. As for De Niro even though he's an actor he always embodies such charisma and sex appeal, he's able to carry himself as such a regular simple man-all that there is to him is that he is in love with a married woman other than his wife.Bottom line: If you appreciate great acting, and are a romantic at heart, you will not be disappointed with this film. Overall rating: 7 out of 10.

It has two of the best actors of the last times in their early careers. The script of the drama is fairly simple and since the beginning of the film its end can be predicted without error. Due to the many coincidences that occur throughout the film. I liked the atmosphere of Christmas in NYC, the hectic city life and the usual executive living in the suburbs, keeping a daily routine of travel and adherence to a schedule. For this reason there are many chances to have an opportunity like the one this couple had to develop a love affair Ms. Streep, as always, an excellent actress playing the role of the perfect beautiful medium class wife. For Mr. De Niro, unlike other roles, I do not think he had to work too hard in his role. Entertaining film.

'Falling In Love', directed by Ulu Grosbard, is a romantic-drama, that is mature & at times, heartfelt. I also enjoyed the Performances by it's star-cast! 'Falling In Love' tells the story of how Two married strangers meet randomly, become friends, and eventually fall in love.Michael Cristofer's Screenplay is mature & uncomplicated. Sure, this love-story isn't without the obstacles, but I thought the film runs with a simple tone. Though the Screenplay dips in the middle, it's culmination comes across as subdued & polite. Ulu Grosbard's Direction is quite good. Cinematography & Editing are passable.Performance-Wise: I truly believe that 'Falling In Love' is a superior product, also for it's strong performances it has in store. De Niro is superb, once again. He's so restrained & controlled in each and every sequence. It takes my breath away just by thinking, that this is the very same actor who pulled off terrorizing roles in 'Cape Fear' & 'The Godfather Part 2'. What a range and what a worthy performer! Meryl Steep on the other-hand, explores acting like no one manages too. To say, that, Streep is the finest actress of the modern-era, is such an under-statement.On the whole, 'Falling In Love' is definitely worth a watch. It offers a punch!

I've just seen FALLING IN LOVE for the first time and loved it. Meryl and Robert made a great team. So many memorable scenes - Molly in bed ,flicking through the pages of a magazine while pouring her heart very quietly to her friend, declaring her love for Frank and how she thinks about him all the time. I also love the scene where Molly speeds to Frank's house in the pouring rain and nearly has an accident at the train crossing. I thought Frank's explanation to his friend at the end was rushed. Are the boys now staying with him permanently? So poignant when Molly and Frank meet again in the bookshop and neither can bring themselves to admit they are free.
