The Fall Rezensionen & Wertungen
- Varun22. November 2024What a marvellous spectacle! The scenery and visual beauty of this movie is unbelievable, and the seamless transitions that blend fictional elements into the natural world is wondrous. Yes there is a meaning attached to the end of the movie, but one may still ask what is the point of spending enormous amounts of time, energy and money on the grand set pieces for such a silly nonsensical story, especially one that seems to be make-believe blabber? The director even bankrupted himself making of this film. The point is to just tell a story. Humans cannot live without stories. We conceptualise our whole lives with made up structures of various stories. It’s like asking what the purpose of life is, and the most fundamental answer is just to live. To tell a story because it can be told. Why do you think we spend billions on creating superhero movies? On some level every story can be considered both silly and profound. It’s how you view it that matters. And in this movie, the story was completely meaningless to Roy, a means to an end, but for the girl it was everything. I loved that there was also a bit of suspense for the audience to figure out what it’s all about, some may feel they wasted their time but personally I really appreciated the vision behind this movie to expound on the power of storytelling and the innocent hope and strength that children bring to fairy tales and life itself. The pacing and switching of the 2 parallel stories is pretty good. The girl did such an amazing job acting this role. I had zero idea Lee Pace was in this, coincidentally I had just watched him a week ago as the sinister emperor in the tv show Foundation, so it was nice to see a little bit of similarity as well as contrast in his character. I don’t think this movie is a masterpiece but it’s a must see for the visuals alone, like there were so many scenes I just couldn’t wrap my head around how much effort they put even just for mundane sequences, and some of the symmetrical imagery was splitting my brain apart. I loved the ending and I think that just based on the themes and final lesson, this movie will stick with me forever and remind me of what’s important during tough times.
- WindUp19. August 2025This brilliant film exemplifies why film matters both as high art and as pure escapist fun. It's a perfect example of why the complaint "well, that's not realistic" is sometimes the best recommendation of all.
- N14. Februar 2026A rare film treasure. Cinematically rich and creative. The little girls acting is the icing on the cake
- Kevin Ward2. Juli 2025Decided to finally watch this after rewatching The Cell and wow, I loved this. Lee Pace stars as Roy Walker a paralyzed patient in a hospital in Los Angeles in 1915. He befriends a young patient Alexandria, that starts visiting him in the ward. He begins telling her stories attempting to coax her into stealing some morphine for him. Completely loved the dynamic of how Roy is telling the stories, but we’re visually seeing how young Alexandria is picturing the story. The people in and around Alexandria’s world appear as characters in the story. Roy adapts and changes the story based in Alexandria’s reactions to it, and how best he thinks he can get her to help him. And as the character’s becomes more fleshed out in Roy’s story, Alexandria’s visualization of them change. It’s a beautiful dynamic accentuated by some gorgeously captured locations. And as The Fall concludes and we’re given the context of the opening sequence and what the fall title refers to, I was utterly moved. It’s a fairly simple story, yet exquisitely rendered and beautifully structured. Highly recommend, if you haven’t seen it.

- mickerdoo27. Oktober 2025Half story of despair in the face of innocence. Half bold adventure with jaw dropping settings and striking design. Intertwines emotionally.

- Hakihiko4. Januar 2025A Visual Journey Through Storytelling "The Fall" is a visually stunning and emotionally engaging film that leaves a lasting impression. Directed by Tarsem Singh, it offers a unique blend of fantasy and reality, set in 1920s Los Angeles. The story follows Roy (Lee Pace), a bedridden stuntman recovering from an accident, who befriends a curious young girl, Alexandria (Catinca Untaru). To pass the time, Roy crafts an elaborate tale of adventure and heroism, which Alexandria visualizes in extraordinary detail. The film's most remarkable aspect is its visuals, with awe-inspiring scenes shot across 28 countries. Each frame is meticulously composed, offering breathtaking landscapes and vibrant costumes that immerse the viewer in its fantastical world. The reliance on real locations over CGI enhances the authenticity and beauty of the imagery. Lee Pace delivers a heartfelt performance as Roy, capturing both his despair and his subtle connection with Alexandria. Catinca Untaru, in her debut role, shines with a natural and unfiltered portrayal of childhood wonder and vulnerability, adding depth and sincerity to their relationship. While the film excels in its visuals and emotional resonance, its narrative pacing occasionally falters, and some may find the shifts between the real world and the fantasy sequences a bit disjointed. However, the overarching themes of loss, resilience, and the escapism found in storytelling remain compelling throughout. "The Fall" is a distinctive film that blends visual splendor with an emotionally driven story making it a memorable experience worth watching.
