The Falling (2014)
3/10
An absolute cringefest
27 April 2015
Warning: Spoilers
Having watched the trailer this looked like a very interesting movie.

I was also a big fan of the directors previous work, Dreams of a Life.

What starts out as a coming of age movie turns into a complete farce with some of the most cringe worthy scenes i've seen in recent years. And I'm not talking about the incest scenes. I seen A Serbian Film so this was tame compared to that. I'm talking about the fainting scenes. Just simply embarrassing. As for the 1960's Tales of the Unexpected dancing I was trying not to laugh. How on earth did anyone read this script and finance it?

Some of the visuals are pleasing with beautiful spring like colours. Unfortunately this isn't enough to save it from being one of the worst movies of 2015.

If you're looking for an interesting movie with a retro look and feel I suggest going for The Duke of Bergundy. Don't waste your money on this mess
