The Fall

About This Movie

The Fall is a visually arresting piece, blending fantasy and drama in a way that’s quite unique. Tarsem Singh’s direction is striking; he uses practical effects and striking locations that really pull you into this world. The story unfolds in a hospital and veers into the imagination of a little girl, creating this whimsical contrast against the stark reality of their lives. The pacing has this languid quality that allows you to soak in the visuals and the performances—Lee Pace’s turn as the stuntman is particularly nuanced. There’s a melancholic undercurrent throughout, and the way the line between truth and fantasy blurs is handled with a delicate touch. It’s definitely a film that lingers with you.
