Review of The Fall (2006) by Vince B — 04 Jun 2011
This is a movie that you have to embrace like its young co-star, childishly with imagination. Try to make it fit into a drama/fantasy mold and you will end up disappointed. look for lots of "grown up" themes and drama and you will miss out.
But take this movie at its level, embrace what it is, and you will see it for the masterpiece that it is. Its a little annoying to see critics attack the movie as "self-indulgent" and "excessive", as if the imagination of a young child is un-artistic because of the preposterous nature of it.
at the risk of sounding like a hipster- open your mind, relax your pre-conceived notions of film, and watch this film through the kids eyes. you will see it is nothing short of a classic that half of the film community missed.
