There seems to be a trend - those who stumbled upon this film late night on IFC or on Showtime, as I did, seem to enjoy the film more than those who responded after the movie's initial release. Also the age demographic, those in their mid 30's - 40's seemed to relate more to the film. I fall into that category.
I love NY/NJ Indie films, they are gritty and diverse - creating that either a love hate relationship with their screenwriters/directors - think Kevin Smith or Ed Burns.
With this move I now have that love relationship with Eric Schaeffer. Which I did not have after "If Lucy Fell" (I do have the soundtrack for that movie, if anyone would like a copy). What I enjoyed about this film - the sexual tension and chemistry of the two main characters, seeing it portrayed on film, (call me crazy but no one gets naked anymore, it is refreshing - seeing realistic down and dirty sex scenes), and the passion that fuels/drives the first few weeks of a new relationship. You felt the tension and the heat. The first half an hour of the film reeled me in.
Overall, FALL is much better than many of the large budget studio films and a good portion the Indie films I have seen recently. I have grown weary of seeing the same recycled character actors and over publicized glamor stars. It was nice to see fresh faces.
Dialogue was quick, and surprisingly well written, story was predictable but overall a good adult film that brought back memories and made me fall into my husbands arms last night remembering our first turmultuous months together.
