'Fall,' starring Grace Caroline Currey and Virginia Gardner, is as bland as a film can be, unable to climb out of the well of its own mediocrity. Our review:
Good movies make us feel something new, showing how the language of cinema can still surprise us when we think we’ve seen everything already. Bad films also have a charm of their own, teaching by example how disastrous some creative choices can be. Fall, however, is as bland as a film can be, unable to climb out of the well of its own mediocrity.
COLLIDER VIDEO OF THE DAY Since most of Fall takes place on the top of a metal tower, we follow Becky and Hunter almost exclusively. Of course, that was already to be expected, but the constraints of the unique set demand brilliant performances for us to keep engaged in the story. Sadly, Currey and Gardner cannot make us care about Becky and Hunter. Not that it’s their fault alone, especially considering how shallow their characters are written.
Becky became a frightened pessimist after tragedy struck her life, while Hunter is the always-happy YouTuber willing to live dangerously. Naturally, their glass half full / half empty dynamics get stale really quick, but Fall doesn’t give any of the characters a second personality trait.
