[DVD Details]
 
 
  • When London novelist Daisy Langrish (Penelope Wilton - Pride & Prejudice) flees from a damaging marriage to her newly acquired Yorkshire cottage to write, she warily accepts an offer from her seemingly polite, respectful neighbour Henry Kent (Michael Kitchen - Foyle's War) to beautify the property's neglected garden.
  • Henry considers himself an expert on women and with flattery, service and seduction, he knows how to use them... and abuse them. Under his charming veneer, Henry carefully conceals his desire for erotica, a disdain for employment and his penchant for vodka. Falling into Henry's obsessive trap, Daisy can only wish she had heeded her own intuition when love suddenly turns deadly!

    If it weren't for the fine performances, FALLING might have proven sleep-inducing.

    Albert makes her existential study lively and entertaining through a mixture of thoughtful character development and unpredictable storytelling.

    Falling is at once a character study times five and something of a generational snapshot.

    Charging Albert's film with looking too much like an American chick flick is to give it short shrift.

    Barbara Albert, the director-writer of the Austrian soaper Falling, probably never thought to call her film One Wedding and a Funeral, but it would have been an appropriate title.

    Fallen is about listlessness in the face of personal and global turmoil and about gesturing toward a political stance.

    Part feel-bad cinema and part female-bonding session, Barbara Albert’s Big Chill–ish melodrama gathers together five former schoolmates who meet up again at a professor’s funeral.

    Meanders forward with little apparent direction and virtually no interesting drama.

    Consciously mannered and using broad brushstrokes and pumping music, Fallen follows five female friends for 36 hours.

    It's all quite noisy, but there doesn't seem to be very much going on as the shared confidences and female bonding are not especially convincing.

    A well-played, cleanly shot but spectacularly empty tale of five female schoolmates reunited at a funeral for a teacher.
