Freefall

About This Movie

Freefall (2017) dives deep into the emotional struggles of a couple facing ALS. The tone is raw and heavy, really reflecting the weight of Ivan's diagnosis. As we watch Lucas trying to cope with Ivan’s physical decline, the atmosphere feels thick with tension and heartbreak. The pacing is deliberate, allowing moments of silence that resonate loudly. Performances are authentic, particularly the chemistry between the leads, which feels both tender and painfully realistic. It’s the kind of film that doesn’t shy away from the harsh realities of illness but also finds beauty in love’s resilience. The cinematography, while simple, complements the weight of the narrative beautifully. It’s distinctive in its intimate portrayal of love under pressure, rather than a typical romantic narrative.
