It's complicated... I really like the directing, acting and writing but, there are issues with the way it's shot that I just can't deny. As much as I love the storytelling and the fantastic performance but, there are also certain scenes that didn't need to exist.

It's the kind of movie you'll want to see a second time with someone who hasn't seen it yet, to remember what it was like to watch it for the first time.

Hmmmm.... So, u r here. I saw it when i was 16 and loved it and eroticism wasn't the only reason. Watched it again a while back. This is a type of movie which doesn't get balanced reviews, either v good ones or very bad ones.... because this is an extreme movie, in its own fashion.... A movie that has an essence to have cult following.... A movie that tries not to compromise artistic credibility in favour of a neat structured format and readily digestible endings.... It has passion, ebbs and flows, it waxes and wanes, its a singsong, and it leaves lose ends, coz life is that way too, always.... The movie uses juxtaposition, placing side by side, two so incredibly different people, and draws out something of a life force out of them....

Obviously there are people who admire this movie and that's fine - but in an almost cult-type way they also seem to lash out at the many people who also DO NOT admire it and see it as a narcissistic trainwreck - an unintentionally hilarious movie - not quite as twisted and awful as The Room because Schaeffer is a competent filmmaker, but just as filled with hokey writing, bad acting and an ego as big as the universe. Schaeffer, a short little character actor must think he's Tom Cruise or Russel Crowe they way he tries to carry himself - but he looks like if Lance Henrikson and Christopher Meloni had a baby - well, that'd be him - so with his heavy lidded smirk - he wants us to believe his obnoxious, overly confident character actor could seduce this supermodel - OK, fine. And nothing against the actress who plays the supermodel - described in the film as "the most beautiful woman in the world" - well, sorry, if you choose to write that line, you better make damn sure you cast someone who IS that beautiful. But this actress looks like a beat-up Rebecca Stamos and her range goes from dull to duller. And the fact that the true seducing element is supposed to be these tremendous love poems that he faxes to her - well, that is when we really started to laugh. THey come off like those sappy greeting cards you might find in a new age gift shop - they are truly stoner freshman beatnik poet crap - so lame, so standard and the fact that the femme fatale acts like she has just been faxed Pablo Neruda's best work is hysterically funny. So, in short, FALL is one of my favorite bad movies and in my circle of friends - who really enjoy bad movies - movies so bad that they are "good" well, FALL is right up there. And from what I understand, people I know in NY who have met the real Schaeffer say his ego fills Manhattan Island. Confidence is one thing, cluelessness is another, Michael Shiver.

This movie is so embarrassing. It's the motion-picture equivalent of fan-fiction. The dialogue was childish and unrealistic, and the plot was simply unbelievable.Ms. Cadenet is a pretty good actor, though, and manages to rise above the horrible material while looking lovely and stylish. She somehow manages to make the two-dimensional character written for her come alive on screen.Other than that, there's not much to recommend in "Fall". I suppose there must be some context in which this would be more entertaining than simply staring at my own shoes for ninety minutes, but it's hard to imagine what that might be.

There is not much I can saw say that hasn't already. I saw this movie on cable and fell for it. I bought the VHS on Ebay and now on DVD. I was in a similar relationship and identified with both characters. Not only that, but the movie is raw with emotion and the realistic issues of both sides with the "real" world upon them. It captures, embodies and summarizes that chapter in my life. I love the soundtrack as well. I have searched on Ebay, all over the net as well as the songs individually and the lyrics with no results. So, if anyone knows where to get one, can make me a copy, give me links to download or get it, PLEASE email me. I have been looking for about 1 year now with no luck. Thanks in advance!
