Review of Fall Time (1995) by Allan C — 21 Aug 2008

This is a rare film to find. Luckily, IFC will air it on occasion. Recommended by a friend of mine who loves movies as much as I do, I was confused following my initial viewing because I didna know what my reaction was.

I guess I liked it, sure. Then I had to see it again, like a decade later. Besides from Rourke, who is always remarkable in my opinion, and Baldwin scene chewing all his, mostly, bland dialogue and scenes, the set up is engaging, but there was something about the ending that was just as disturbing, hypnotic, and captivating as when I saw it for the first time.

It remained in my head for days. Then I was at lost for how I feel about the movie afterwards. I guess if a film can do that for me, it deserves a good rating. There always seems to be something new I notice in each viewing, but the ending remains powerful, even to this day.
